Elie Che[2] (10 April 1998 – 31 August 2020) was a British[1] transgender woman. Her death in August 2020 became high-profile due to her prominence in the London queer nightlife scene, as well as the cultural focus on the deaths of transgender people due to their disproportionately shorter life expectancy.[2]
