Popular Instagram roller-skating influencer Beauty Couch has reportedly died aged 22. Atlanta-area authorities suspect foul play in the young woman’s death.
The Cobb County Police Department said on social media that the “Cobb County Police Department Major Crimes Unit is investigating a homicide at the request of the City of Austell Police Department.”
Austell Fire was dispatched to Joe Jerkins Blvd and Landers Street on August 23, at around 12:18 pm, for a brush fire, the statement said. Authorities arrived to discover a vehicle on fire, which was extinguished shortly after. The vehicle was taken to a wrecker yard.
Beauty Couch had not been seen for a while
The statement on Facebook read, “Austell Police responded to the address where the vehicle was registered and learned the owner's daughter, Beauty Couch (22, Austell), had not been seen since the previous morning and was the one who most commonly drove the vehicle. Austell Police searched the area where the vehicle was found and located a body that matched the description of Beauty Couch in the wood line.”
“Based on the initial scene investigation, foul play is suspected, and anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Cobb County Police Tip Hotline at 770-499-4111,” the statement added.
Beauty’s heartbroken mother Kimberly Couch told WSB-TV, “She was a sweet girl, she never bothered nobody. She was a friend to everybody. She loved going skating. She loved going to work. She loved her clothes. She loved wearing her hair so pretty.”
