    TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg has died

    The social media personality - who had over 1.4 million followers on the platform - passed away at the age of 25, her husband Cameron Grigg announced on Saturday (05.10.24)


    Cameron noted Taylor's passing was "sudden and expected" and her body has remained in hospital for organ donation, but he didn't offer any further details about the circumstances surrounding her death.

    He shared photos of himself and his wife and wrote: "No one ever expects to have to deal with this kind of pain and heartache, especially at our age.

    "This past year Taylor has dealt with more pain and suffering than most people do in a lifetime. And in spite of that, she still has been such a light and always brought joy to everyone around her.

    "She is the most brave and strong woman I know, and her confidence in the Lord outweighed every other circumstance she's faced, even in her darkest hours. I know she's saved my life and so many others out there."

    Cameron went on to explain how Taylor's organs would be donated as he knows she'd have wanted to continue to help people after her death.

    He wrote: "More than anything Taylor would want to know that she's continuing to save people's lives even after she's gone from this world. And even though her earthly body may have failed her, her memory and life will be carried on forever.

    "While her earthly body is still here waiting to give the gift of life, we know her spirit is in heaven dancing in the streets made of gold with all her beauty and grace. Her endless shoe/boot collection. And her rhinestones and turquoise jewellery."

    Noting Taylor was "no longer in pain", Cameron also revealed a GoFundMe page has been set up in honour of his wife's memory.

    He wrote: "With this being so sudden and unexpected we don't have anything financially in order. Taylor has been in and out of the hospital since we got married which has affected our financial situation, therefore we don't have any insurance.

    "A friend set up a gofundme for anyone who would like to contribute. And even if you can't contribute financially, prayers for our family are always needed. I'll share the link and really appreciate if y'all would share it as well.(sic)"

    The page stated the money donated would help to cover the costs of a benefit in Taylor's honour as she "would love to have everyone who loved her celebrate her life."
