Absolutely heartbreaking. Thinking of her poor mum right now. 💔

this. Young deaths hit different 🥺

Tragic but also a reminder that the French Riviera is overrated. Kiwis need to stop acting like Europe is the only place to go. Plenty of stunning spots right here in NZ.

but you don't know the whole story so maybe pipe down.

Yeah nah, more details needed. How does a 21-year-old just die on holiday? Feels like there's more to this story that they're not telling us.

Condolences to the family. But honestly, why are we putting this on the news? Happens every day, people die overseas. Feels like they're just milking it for clicks.

As a student myself this hits hard. We're all invincible until we're not. Sending love to her whānau.

Luca Reid2026-07-23T19:02:00.000Z

It's not about me, it's about the family. Have some decency.

Luca Reid2026-07-23T19:00:00.000Z

Okay but can we not turn this into a 'but what about me' chat? A young woman died. Have some respect.

Taylor Wright2026-07-23T19:13:00.000Z

harder.

Casey Adams2026-07-23T19:18:00.000Z

Respect doesn't mean we can't ask questions. If this was a Māori kid dying overseas you'd all be screaming for answers.

Blake Turner2026-07-23T19:29:00.000Z

Bit of a reach mate. Maybe just let people grieve.

ffs can't even read a simple news article without people making it political. RIP to the young lady.
