BoxLunch Launches Investigation After Disney Influencer Tragically Dies Of Allergic Reaction At Holiday Event

BoxLunch Launches Investigation After Disney Influencer Tragically Dies Of Allergic Reaction At Holiday Event

Dominique Brown’s tragic death isn’t going unnoticed.

Earlier this month, reports surfaced that the notable Disney fanatic tragically passed away after eating a food item she was assured did not contain a specific ingredient she was allergic to at a BoxLunch event. It was just a super, super sad and negligent thing to happen, especially to someone who brought so much light to the world.

In the wake of the 34-year-old’s death, BoxLunch confirmed she died of a “medical emergency” at their Los Angeles pop culture holiday event on December 5, and extended their condolences to her loved ones. And now, they’re investigating the incident.

In a statement released on Friday, the brand once again paid tribute to the late influencer:

“Dominique Brown created a community of love, joy, and representation. We are devastated by her sudden and tragic passing. She was a beloved member of the BoxLunch Collective and brought love to all whose lives she touched. As we’ve shared with the media, the BoxLunch Collective members, and everyone else we have been in contact with, we will do everything possible to support Dominique’s family, her loved ones, the Collective, and our team during this painful time.”

They went on to reveal they are providing counseling to those affected by her unfortunate death  in addition to their investigation:

“We are providing grief counseling services at the BoxLunch Collective, BoxLunch team, and others directly affected by this tragedy. We are also in the process of conducting an investigation into the tragic circumstances of her passing, which occurred at a BoxLunch event hosted at a venue in Los Angeles. We have not received the information we requested from the operators of the event venue to get an accurate and detailed account of the night. As we learn more, we plan to share this information with Dominique’s family.”

It sounds like they’re reaaally trying to take some of the weight of the blame off their own shoulders and place it on the venue’s… But at the end of the day, they held the party and they’re who Dominique showed up for.

The brand concluded:

“While we know that there are no words or actions that will fully heal anyone’s pain, we will do all we can to honor Dominique.”

Our hearts continue to be with Dominique’s loved ones during this unimaginably difficult time. We hope to see more accountability taken. Rest in peace.
