She remained in a critical condition in hospital before dying days later.
The 23-year-old, who was based in Kotka, Finland, had built a following through chaotic livestreams on TikTok and the streaming platform Kick.
Police confirmed they responded to a self-harm emergency linked to a social media broadcast late last Thursday (15 Oct).
The influencer later fell into a coma.
News of her death first spread through social media after friends and family posted tributes.
Finland’s Digital and Population Data Services Agency later confirmed the death to local media.
Controversial Finnish personality Johanna Tukiainen, who had featured Iida-Sofia on her own streams, publicly prayed for her recovery and later described the loss as a “great sadness”.
Iida-Sofia was known for outspoken, often substance-influenced content and had also operated an OnlyFans account, as reported by Need To Know.
She faced serious pending criminal charges, including two counts of rape, illegal threats and drug offences, according to Finnish reports.
Her case was due to be heard later this year in a local court.
Followers have left messages of shock and condolence across her platforms, with many describing her as a larger-than-life character who attracted both attention and online abuse.
Reports noted that she had been subjected to significant cyberbullying, though no direct link has been confirmed.
The exact circumstances surrounding the livestreamed hanging incident remain under police investigation.
