TikTok influencer Taylor Rousseau Grigg's cause of death has been revealed, just one week after her tragic passing at the age of 25. Taylor, who amassed over 1.4 million followers on the social media platform, reportedly succumbed to complications from asthma and Addison's disease on October 4, according to a family representative who spoke with Today.com. A source close to the family confirmed to People magazine that her death was due to complications arising from a severe asthma attack.
Months prior to her death, Taylor had openly discussed the intense pain she was experiencing while seeking a diagnosis. In a poignant TikTok video, she candidly shared her daily struggle, saying, "I feel like I'm fighting for life every day." She recounted a comment from a friend who noted that she looked like "the life has been drained out of me," adding, "Honestly, for a time there, that's true."
In the same video, Taylor fought back tears as she described her physical limitations, stating, "I should be in my prime. I should be able to walk to the mailbox or run, and those are just things I can't really do right now." Her husband, Cameron Grigg, announced her sudden and unexpected death on Instagram, expressing the profound grief and heartache they were experiencing.
Cameron's heartfelt post praised Taylor as the "most brave and strong woman" he knew, noting that she had saved many lives, including his own. He also revealed that Taylor had chosen to donate her organs, ensuring that her legacy of saving lives would continue even after her passing. Her family has set up a GoFundMe page to assist with the financial burdens associated with her death, as they were not financially prepared and lacked insurance. As of Thursday afternoon, the campaign had raised over $51,000 towards the $100,000 goal.
Taylor and Cameron's love story began in 2021 after they connected through social media. They got engaged in June 2022 and were married in August 2023. Her final video, posted on September 26, captured a tender moment with their beloved dog.
