The tragic death of the young Czech YouTuber and star of the Clash combat sports organization Dominika Elischerová († 23), known as Mína, after the accident in Thailand, it affected not only her family, but also the wider area. Her mother, Petra Soukupová-Elischerová, in an emotional interview for she called just before the fateful training session.
“We used to call each other on WhatsApp pretty much every day. The last time we spoke was just before she went to that fateful training session. Mína loved Thailand, adored the training camps there and the discipline in them. That day, she still gave me a tour of the villa, where she had just moved, so she wouldn’t be alone. She was showing me the Buddha over which a rainbow had just appeared,” she revealed.
According to her, Dominika was extremely careful and happy in Thailand. A collision between a scooter and a truck became fatal for her. Although she had no visible injuries on the outside, she suffered devastating internal bleeding. “All day I wrote her messages on Instagram, I believed in a miracle. I wrote her – Mina, fight, I’m holding your hand!” recalls the devastated mother. In the most difficult moments, her friend and wrestler Samir Margina stood by her side, who stayed with her in the hospital until the very end, for which the family is extremely grateful.
The family fought until the last moment to save her and tried to organize an airlift to a better equipped hospital in Bangkok. They involved all possible contacts in the rescue operation, including politicians and influential acquaintances, to get a specialized medical team to the place. However, the speed of the administration failed.
“Unfortunately, communication with the insurance company was very slow at that moment… But when it finally started to move, it was too late. Mina died around eight in the evening of our time,” admitted the mother, saying that the level of health care there was a fatal problem at the time.
The last farewell to Dominika in the Czech Republic will not take a traditional form. The mother refuses a traditional funeral in a gloomy ceremonial hall and instead plans a dignified but personal farewell outside, probably in the grounds of Prague’s Yellow Baths. He does not even plan a classic coffin.
“I imagine we’ll put the ashes in a big white lacquered box that all her friends, influencers and gym boys would put a colored fingerprint on. So that she has all her loved ones there with her.” added Petra, saying that the family has already been contacted by a number of well-known personalities from the internet scene who want to come and say goodbye to Mína.
