Katie May

[2] Dubbed "The Queen of Snapchat",[2][3] May was known as a social media star and brand ambassador before her death from a chiropractically induced stroke at age 34.

[1] May described her upbringing as "very traditional working-American", with a "real emphasis in my house on education, primarily the arts and history".

[1][2] From 1999 to 2003, May attended Ohio University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in retail merchandising.

"[5] On the evening of February 1, 2016, May "had begun feeling numbness in a hand and dizzy", and "called her parents to tell them she thought she was going to pass out."

[1] A coroner's report confirmed that the stroke was the result of the chiropractor's neck adjustment, which tore her left vertebral artery.

[7] In 2017, a lawsuit, which included claims of wrongful death and professional negligence, was filed against the chiropractor by May's father in Los Angeles Superior Court.
