Shock death of former Miss Canada at just 21
Young Canadian influencer and model Tanya Pardazi has tragically died while learning to skydive.
At only 21, Pardazi was involved in a solo skydiving incident on August 27, in Innisfail Ontario.
“The skydiver released a quickly rotating main parachute at a low altitude without the time/altitude required for the reserve parachute to inflate,” Skydive Toronto said in a statement.
Pardazi was a philosophy student at the University of Toronto, and had gained a large following of over 95,000 on TikTok.
Tanya was also a model, cheerleader and former Miss Canada contestant who talked all things self-esteem, relationships, make-up and animals with her diverse fanbase.
“What Tanya did during 21 years, I think many people fail to fulfill even in 80 or 90 years,” said the eulogist at her funeral, according to Canada’s National Post.
The University of Toronto cheer squad shared a heart-warming tribute on Instagram. “Forever part of our team and in our hearts, Tanya Pardazi was one in a million.”
Skydive Toronto also paid tribute to Pardazi, saying it was currently working with police amid an investigation into Pardazi’s death.
"She really lived every second to the fullest," said her close friend Melody Oz.
"This is the biggest shock to us. It's very hard to process. It's been a couple of days, but we still don't even believe it."
