The young influencer was killed instantly when the tractor suddenly split in half, terrifyingly pinning him to the ground.

Chilling footage from just before his untimely death shows Deshwal leaning back on the tractor so that it is at a 90-degree angle.

Slowly the heavy bike begins to tip backwards as the massive wheels spinning on the soft, sandy ground begin to lose traction.

The father-of-one was then violently thrown backwards towards the ground as the tractor spun on top of him, leaving him crushed.

You hear his friends standing nearby shouting horror as the terrible events unfolded before their eyes and in front of thousands online as they live-streamed the fatal stunt.

The gruesome ordeal took place on Wednesday, 28, in Panipat district, Haryana, India.

Deshwal earned more than 1.3 million Instagram followers and no less than 1.5 million YouTube subscribers in just three years of using social media.

He was known for his love for tractors and regularly posted videos of himself doing various tricks and daring stunts with them.

He was married to a loving wife for 18 months and the couple shared a six-month-old son.

Since his death, fans online have speculated about the cause of the tractor’s shocking behavior.

Deshwal regularly performed similar stunts and always did so successfully and safely.

This led some to suggest that the terrible accident was a faulty tractor.

One viewer said: “This is an old tractor and it didn’t have proper roll bars.

“The homemade roll bar collapsed as soon as the tractor overturned and crushed him.”

Another left a similar comment, saying: “Those bars are called a rollover protection system.

‘It looks like they’re bent.

“Maybe they were aftermarket and not the right size for the tractor, because that’s exactly the type of accident it’s designed to prevent.”

Before a third wrote: ‘Looks like the back part of the seat gave way.

“It was probably not designed to carry the weight of about 40 percent of the tractor.

“It looks like the seat just broke and the tractor fell on the poor guy naturally.”
