YouTuber pays compensation after 'copycat' death bbc.com

A Chinese influencer has agreed to pay compensation to the families of two girls – after one died in what her family says was an attempt to copy a viral video.

Ms Yeah, who has seven million subscribers on YouTube, is known for unconventional office cooking videos.

The girls, aged 14 and 12, were allegedly copying a video in which Ms Yeah makes popcorn in a tin can.

The girls were heating up alcohol in the cans when it exploded.

The 14-year-old, identified only as Zhezhe, later died from her injuries.
