Oğuzhan fell from the balcony of his apartment in the Eryaman area of Turkish capital Ankara.
The reason for his fall is still unclear.
Witnesses to the horror immediately phone the emergency services, but despite their best efforts Dalgakiran couldn't be saved.
He tragically died from his severe injuries at the scene.
Oğuzhan began live-streaming on Twitch in 2017 with gaming and football content.
His wife, Aleyna, also occasionally appeared in his videos.
The pair have only been married around a year after tying the knot in the summer of 2024.
They wold regularly post updates on their lives and trips around the world to social media.
Oğuzhan would usually appear on his fans' streams every day - but on the day of his death announced he was taking an out-of-character break.
He wrote on his Instagram story: "Friends, I woke up today feeling pretty exhausted and lacking in energy.

"I think both Fenerbahçe (Turkish football club) and the intensive days of streaming have worn me out. I'm taking today off.
"If I feel better tomorrow, we'll catch up on everything. Please excuse the sudden cancellation. See you soon."
But his fans would never watch Oğuzhan live again.
Police launched an investigation into his death, according to Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, and his body was taken for a forensic autopsy.
