Dominique Brown, a 34-year-old Disney enthusiast and influencer, passed away on December 5, 2024, after suffering a severe allergic reaction at a holiday food event hosted by BoxLunch in Los Angeles. According to reports, Brown consumed a food item at the event that she was told did not contain peanuts, a food to which she was allergic. After feeling unwell, she asked to be taken to a hospital but tragically passed away despite receiving CPR at the scene.
Brown, who was known online as «HellooDomo,» was attending the event at Vibiana in Los Angeles when she consumed the food in question. Event staff reportedly reassured her that the item did not contain peanuts, but shortly afterward, Brown began feeling unwell. A person who claimed to know her shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Brown instantly felt bad and requested to be taken to the hospital. «She was my mom’s best friend of 10 years. She asked if there was peanuts in the food and everyone told her no. When she instantly felt bad she asked someone to take her to the hospital, everyone said no and to take pictures first. So sad,» the user wrote.
Brown was seen receiving CPR at the event, and 911 was called. BoxLunch later issued a statement confirming her passing, expressing deep sorrow and extending condolences to her family and friends. «We are devastated by the passing of Dominique Brown, a beloved member of the BoxLunch Collective, who suffered a medical emergency at an event hosted by BoxLunch on Thursday in Los Angeles,» a representative for BoxLunch said on December 7. «Our hearts go out to her family and friends, and we will do everything we can to support them and the members of the BoxLunch Collective and our team during
