At just 21 years old, the influencer and TikToker Nicolo Fraticelli has died. He committed suicide on October 16 after a long depression. The young man made himself known by sharing videos on the Chinese social network where he talked about his illness.
His last video, filmed three hours before the tragedy, recalled a scooter ride through the streets of Rome: “He seemed serene,” his parents told the newspaper Il Messagero.

On his phone, another video found by his loved ones attests to his despair, where he explains “not being able to live anymore” and confesses that he is “a lonely person who suffers a lot.” Followed by a psychologist and a psychiatrist, Nicolo Fraticelli was under surveillance from the age of 16: “From the moment we understood his fragility, we did everything possible by investing our energy and our time.”
A film student, the young influencer suffered, however, from depression in his mid-adolescence, going from “happy” days to “very dark” days, his parents testify.
However, when he talks about the subject on Tiktok, he has to face comments that question his discomfort and periodically harass him cybernetically: “We made fun of him and that made him suffer a lot,” explains his father, who “gratuitous evil hurts.” ”. Some of his videos have gone viral, exceeding 2 million views.
Nicolo Fraticelli sought “understanding” for his parents, but in return he only received “indifference or, worse still, contempt.”
