Aside from being a singer, she was also an active member of the competitive Super Smash Bros. community. Attending multiple local, regional and even national tournaments in her home region of California, Grimmie primarily used the Ness character.
The statement from her representative read: “It is with a heavy heart that we can confirm that Christina has passed and went home to be with the Lord. She was shot at her show in Orlando and, unfortunately, didn’t survive the gun shot wounds. We ask at this time that you respect the privacy of her family and friends in their time of mourning. If you’d like to give back to Christina’s family in her memory, please consider donating to the families’ GoFundMe page in their time of need.”
