The life of 33-year-old influencer Garrett Bruno has taken a tragic and dramatic turn.
After being involved in a fatal car crash that allegedly killed 83-year-old Esther Abouab, Bruno’s troubles didn’t end there.
Just days after the incident, he was seen in a disturbing video snorting white powder on a sidewalk, before suffering a life-threatening accident himself.
Now, he is in a coma, fighting for his life.
The Fatal Crash
On October 10, Bruno, a West Hollywood-based travel influencer, was behind the wheel of his Ford Escape SUV when he collided with a Ford Expedition, which was carrying Esther Abouab and her husband.
Abouab, who was rushed to the hospital, later died from her injuries.
Bruno’s vehicle struck the side of the Expedition, and while the speed limit in the area was 25 mph, the severity of the crash suggests that Bruno was speeding.
His bloodied and handcuffed appearance moments after the crash was caught on camera.
A Disturbing Video and Scooter Accident
Just days later, on October 19, Bruno was photographed by DailyMail.com in a shocking moment, snorting what appeared to be drugs on the street outside his home.
The influencer claimed the substance was a prescription ketamine, meant to help with his depression and anxiety, but the photo was alarming.
The next day, Bruno was involved in another accident, this time on his scooter, which led to serious injuries, including a cracked skull.
The 33-year-old was rushed to the hospital, and his condition was critical.
He remained unconscious, with his parents by his side.
Authorities, who had been investigating him for the fatal crash, were unaware of his medical state until they arrived at his rental bungalow to arrest him for Abouab’s murder.
Legal Troubles and Charges
Bruno’s legal woes are far from over.
Authorities had planned to arrest him for second-degree murder, but when they arrived at his home, they found he was already in the hospital.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is now preparing to file multiple charges, including reckless driving and battery from an earlier incident with a firefighter.
Bruno’s lawyer has yet to comment on the situation, but the case continues to unfold with more potential charges.
A Controversial Influence
Known for his lavish lifestyle and tens of thousands of followers, Bruno has been a controversial figure, especially after publicly declaring his support for Donald Trump—an act that divided the LGBT community in West Hollywood.
Despite his fame, Bruno’s actions in the weeks leading up to these tragic events paint a picture of a man spiraling out of control.
Prosecutors are preparing for a lengthy legal battle as they seek justice for Abouab’s family.
As the investigation continues, the shocking events surrounding Garrett Bruno’s life and the death of Esther Abouab are still being unraveled, with much more to come.
