TikTok star dies at 25, husband announces 'sudden and unexpected' death

TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg has died at the age of 25.

Grigg's husband, Cameron Grigg, announced the news of her death in an emotional Instagram post on Saturday.

“No one ever expects to have to deal with this kind of pain and heartbreak, especially at our age,” Grigg wrote. “Over the past year, Taylor has endured more pain and suffering than most people endure in a lifetime. And yet she was still such a light and always brought joy to everyone around her.”

Grigg said his wife's death was “sudden and unexpected” and that her body was “controlled by machines to keep her organs usable for donation.”

He shared that his wife had been struggling with unknown medical issues for some time, but did not provide any further details about her death.

“With this happening so suddenly and unexpectedly, we are left with nothing to control financially,” Griggs wrote in the post. “Taylor has been in and out of hospital since we got married, which has affected our financial situation, so we don’t have insurance.”

Grigg added that a family friend set up a GoFundMe.

The 25-year-old TikTok star has over a million followers on the platform by sharing lifestyle and shopping videos.

She celebrated her birthday just last month, shortly after the couple's wedding in August 2023.
