Authorities are investigating the freak accident involving an exploding whipped cream canister that killed a French fashion model and fitness blogger.

Rebecca Burger, 33, died Sunday after she was reportedly struck in the chest by the pressurized canister, causing her to go into cardiac arrest, according to multiple news sources.

Popular on social media for her fitness and travel posts, Burger had some 55,000 Facebook fans and 154,000 followers on Instagram, according to the BBC.

French investigators say that type of canister was taken off the market in 2013, the Associated Press reported. Authorities are looking into whether a faulty siphon on the high-pressure gadget used to make and dispense whipped cream led to the explosion.

Ard'time, which manufactured the product, said it had not been on the market since a "first incident implicating a siphon" in February 2013, the AP said.

Products were withdrawn from the market and destroyed, a company statement said. Efforts were made to alert consumers.

A consumer advocate publication said while there have been dozens of accidents linked to the product, Burger is the first fatality involving it.
