Rebecca Burger: Popular fitness model dies in exploding canister accident

Rebecca Burger’s family reported on Rebecca’s social media accounts on June 21 that the beautiful model and fitness guru / blogger died in a bizarre accident when “a pressurized canister used for dispensing whipped cream exploded, hitting her in the chest,” according to The Boston Globe.  Burger was popular on Instagram, Facebook and maintained her own lifestyle website.

When the model’s family announced her death, they also shared warnings about the potential dangers associated with those whipped cream canisters that should be considered defective.

The family published a photo of the canister from manufacturer Chantilly along with the warning “… an example of the cartridge/siphon from Chantilly that exploded and struck Rebecca’s chest, killing her. Take note: the cartridge that caused her death was sealed. Do not use this type of device in your home! Tens of thousands of these appliances are still in circulation,” according to their post on Burger’s Instagram and Facebook accounts.

The fatal accident took place in France on June 17, 2017.  USA Today reported that Burger suffered a heart attack and died after being struck by the exploding canister.  French authorities are still investigating her death.
