TikTok star Leonardo Gil has reportedly died after he was tragically killed in a hit-and-run accident after a shift at work.
The 34-year-old doctor, who has 108.9k followers on the app, was driving home on his motorbike after a shift at a hospital in Hialeah, Florida, when he was involved in a crash.
According to WSVN, passersby only noticed Leonardo was lying on the ground after the accident had happened, before they quickly dialled 911.
The doctor's aunt Katiuska Fernandez told the publication: "The only thing that we know is the people left him on the street and left."
He was taken to hospital but later died of his injuries, according to the outlet.
The doctor's family have been left understandably devastated by his death, with his aunt adding: "We are very sad because he was just 34 years old."
One thing she will always have to remember about her beloved nephew is that he "knew how to make people smile".
She added: "Whether he met you on the streets, or if you were one of his more than 90,000 TikTok followers, his goal was to brighten up your day. Everybody knows he's going to say something good."
Tributes from work colleagues and fans also came in after news of Leonardo's tragic death circulated.
Shirley Martell wrote on Facebook : "My heart is simply broken….. you were so much to so many….the smile and the face of our workplace.
"What a huge void we will all feel without your joy, energy, making us run for your long softball hits, and for being the best Grinch EVER!! Gone but not forgotten. RIP friend, you did good."
On TikTok, one follower wrote: "So young. May God have him in his glory."
"Omg I can't believe this, I'm in shock," a second commented.
"My broken heart sends my deepest condolences to the family and all those who were able to meet him," a third concluded.
The doctor started working at Hialeah hospital as a janitor after immigrating from Cuba around 10 years ago.
He worked as a porter before becoming an endoscopy technician.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to cover funeral expenses for the TikTok star.
The description read: "Everyone who met him loved him. He was always willing to help others. He was extremely dedicated and hardworking.
"This loss has left his family in disbelief and heartache. His sudden passing has created a void in the lives of everyone he knew.
"We are asking for help funding his funeral/memorial costs. Any help is greatly appreciated."
