A TWITCH streaming star has died after plunging from a 12th floor balcony just hours after uploading a haunting final post.
Oğuzhan Dalgakiran, 26, from Turkey, had over a million followers on social media thanks to his wildly popular streams under the name Jrokez.
Oğuzhan fell from the balcony of his apartment in the Eryaman area of Turkish capital Ankara.
The reason for his fall is still unclear.
Witnesses to the horror immediately phone the emergency services, but despite their best efforts Dalgakiran couldn’t be saved.
He tragically died from his severe injuries at the scene.
Oğuzhan began live-streaming on Twitch in 2017 with gaming and football content.
His wife, Aleyna, also occasionally appeared in his videos.
The pair have only been married around a year after tying the knot in the summer of 2024.
They wold regularly post updates on their lives and trips around the world to social media.
Oğuzhan would usually appear on his fans’ streams every day – but on the day of his death announced he was taking an out-of-character break.
He wrote on his Instagram story: “Friends, I woke up today feeling pretty exhausted and lacking in energy.
“I think both Fenerbahçe (Turkish football club) and the intensive days of streaming have worn me out. I’m taking today off.
“If I feel better tomorrow, we’ll catch up on everything. Please excuse the sudden cancellation. See you soon.”
But his fans would never watch Oğuzhan live again.
Police launched an investigation into his death, according to Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, and his body was taken for a forensic autopsy.
Oğuzhan’s social media accounts have been flooded with tributes from his fans.
One wrote: “May you rest in peace beautiful person. You don’t see them but be happy wherever you go.”
Another speculated: “Could it be an accident that fell on the balcony? May God have mercy on him and give patience to his family.”
And a third said: “Rest in peace my brother. Rest in peace.”

EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
