Disney influencer Dominique Brown died last week after reportedly experiencing a severe allergic reaction at a holiday brand event in Los Angeles.
The incident occurred at an event hosted by the pop culture merch retailer BoxLunch on Thursday evening, according to a spokesperson for BoxLunch.
Emergency services were called to the event, which was held at Vibiana, a cathedral-turned-event venue in downtown Los Angeles.
The event's DJ turned off the music to announce a medical issue and ask guests for an EpiPen, the BoxLunch spokesperson said.
The theme park and collectible enthusiast was most known as the co-creator of Black Girl Disney, a space for fellow Black Disney influencers seeking community in a predominantly white niche.
