Disney influencer and cofounder of Black Girl Disney, Dominique Brown, died at a holiday gathering last week after suffering a “medical emergency,” according to an official statement from event host and pop-culture retail company BoxLunch.
Amid an ongoing investigation by the company, some media outlets and influencers are specifying that Brown, 34, died of an anaphylactic reaction after unknowingly ingesting food that she was allergic to, possibly peanuts, despite what many allege were warnings given by Brown to the staff. After 911 was called, a People reporter witnessed Brown receive CPR at the event, which took place at Vibiana in Los Angeles.
