Death of Croatian influencer Kristina Kovačević Hitrec

Overview

Kristina Kovačević Hitrec, a prominent Croatian influencer and author of the Facebook page ‘Mamin blog’, has passed away at the age of 38, leaving behind six children.

Kovačević Hitrec was widely recognized for her candid discussions regarding motherhood, family life, and social challenges such as infertility and unpaid alimony. She was a recipient of the ‘Ponos Hrvatske’ award for her humanitarian efforts. Reports noted that earlier in the year, she survived a life-threatening medical complication involving a spinal anesthesia error following her sixth childbirth, which led to her decision to undergo sterilization.

Following her death, her husband, Tihomir Hitrec, issued a statement to combat online misinformation, clarifying that he had not authorized any fundraising efforts or provided bank account details for donations.

Her passing has since sparked intense discussion regarding cyberbullying and online hate speech. Helena Ančić, a fellow influencer and friend, highlighted the severe impact of digital harassment and suggested that postpartum depression could have been a contributing factor, though the exact cause of death remains unclear. The incident has renewed calls for greater responsibility and safer environments on social media platforms.
