A social media influencer is under fire for posting a video that appears to show a dead body — and cracking jokes about it while she enjoyed a fancy steakhouse anniversary dinner.
Sarah Stusek shared a video of her anniversary dinner with her husband — but the clip included a body lying in the middle of the street underneath a white blanket at the scene of the fatal crash, surrounded by yellow caution tape.
“I didn’t plan on filming our anniversary dinner but when we walked up there was a dead body outside, so I knew it was going to be an eventful one,” Stusek, who has more than 323,000 followers on TikTok, quipped in the video, which appears to have been deleted.
The video shows the DC-area influencer enjoying oysters and other delicacies with her beau at the Oak Steakhouse in Alexandria, Virginia, as police investigate a fatal accident behind them.
“We enjoyed our evening under the red and blue strobe light,” she says, insensitive to the grave situation just feet away. The video ends with the couple hugging with police still in the background.
Sarah Stusek captured a fatal hit and run on camera in a social media post this week. Sarah Stusek / TikTokThe Alexandria Police Department said this week a 62-year-old woman was declared dead at the scene after she was hit by a car on Monday at the same location seen in the video.
The crash happened around 5:30 p.m. at N. St. Asaph St. and Montgomery St. The driver who hit her, a 42-year-old man, remained on the scene, cops said. The crash remains under investigation.
The video drew comparisons influencer and wrestler Logan Paul, who infamously filmed himself beside a corpse in Japan’s notorious “Suicide Forest” in 2017. He later took the video down and issued an apology.
Stusek has not appeared to address the controversy and did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
