AceShowbiz - Christina Grimmie's Twitter page shared a mysterious post just hours following her death on Friday night, June 10. Turns out, someone hacked her account and tweeted an insensitive message that infuriated the late singer's fans.
On Saturday morning, a new post simply read, "The end," appeared on Grimmie's timeline. Some of her fans thought the message was sent out by a family member, while some others found it offensive and asked it to be removed.
"This was a disrespectful tweet 'the end' someone must have hacked her twitter," one Twitter user wrote. Another agreed, branding the tweet "uncalled for." Later in the day, Grimmie's family confirmed that the message was posted by a hacker. It was later deleted after up for a little over an hour.
As previously reported, Grimmie was shot and killed while signing autographs and selling merchandise after she performed at an Orlando show on Friday. Her last tweet was a video of her promoting the show. "Hey guys, what's up? We're in Orlando today. Please come to the show if you leave near Orlando. We are at the Plaza Live. Please come out! Bye!" she excitedly said in front of the camera.
ORLANDO!! Come out to the show tonight at the Plaza Live! Starts at 7:30!�����°��¯��¿��½��¯��¿��½��¯��¿��½ pic.twitter.com/0D4mNupCTi

A man who shot Grimmie has been identified as Kevin James Loibl, a 27-year-old who traveled to Orlando from St. Petersburg armed with two handguns and a knife to specifically kill her. He committed suicide after Grimmie's brother tackled him to prevent him from harming other people in the venue.
