Her bereaved family revealed to TMZ on Thursday (June 23) that the influencer’s battle with mental illness was the reason she took her own life. The influencer gained notoriety in 2015 when she established the popular Reddit trend “Roast Me.”

After she deleted almost all of her images and videos from her social media accounts last month, leaving only three postings, her loving followers began to express their worries about the beauty.

Her devoted followers flocked to Reddit as soon as word of her passing spread online to offer their condolences to her friends and family.

Users posted their sincere condolences online in response to her final post, a photo snapped on March 25 while still in a car.

One person wrote: “R.I.P., Niece Strong people who offer their support and wisdom often themselves need it. Everybody experiences life. Rest In Peace.”

Added by another “She seems to have passed away. Her family and friends have my condolences; she will be missed. Her final Instagram post in memory of her.”

The only posts she has left are a little video of her dancing with her deceased dog Puff and a 2015 image of her and an unidentified man declaring their engagement.

She wrote in the moving caption: “I knew this was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with from the very first date we went on.

“Nothing, however, could have prepared me for the joy I had when he proposed to me.
