Influencer and social media personality Bruno, known for his popular Garrett Travels account with 61,000 followers, has passed away following a series of accidents and legal challenges.
The 33-year-old influencer was involved in a serious crash earlier this year, but only days after his release from the hospital, he suffered a second accident while riding a scooter. On October 19, just nine days after the initial crash, Bruno was photographed by DailyMail.com outside his West Hollywood home, appearing to snort a substance in broad daylight. He later claimed the powder was prescription ketamine in a post on his Instagram account.

Less than a week later, on October 25, Bruno fell off his scooter and sustained a severe head injury, cracking his skull. The influencer was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills, where he was placed in a coma. His condition was critical, and it was unclear whether he would survive the injury.
Bruno’s troubles did not end with his medical crisis. On November 15, deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office raided his West Hollywood home in connection with the murder of a man named Abouab. They were unable to arrest Bruno due to his hospitalization, though the investigation continued.
Bruno regained consciousness in late December 2024, after spending several weeks in a coma. He was transferred to an LA jail to face charges related to the murder investigation. However, by January 2025, Bruno had been released on bail while awaiting trial.
Tragically, just before his trial was set to begin, Bruno died. According to reports, he had flown to Florida to be with his family at the time of his death. The cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
Bruno’s life took a surprising turn in 2024 when he publicly revealed his support for the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement. His announcement shocked many, particularly within the LGBT community in West Hollywood, where he had been known for his advocacy on various social issues.
His unexpected death has left the social media community stunned, with many fans and followers paying tribute to him online. Despite his controversial public persona and the tumultuous events leading up to his passing, Bruno remains a figure remembered for his influence on social media and his impact on the LGBTQ+ community.
An official investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death is ongoing.
