Another TikTok Star's Death
It was not the first time a TikTok user died this year by suicide.
In February, the 18-year-old TikTok user Dazharia Shaffer also shocked the world after claiming her own life. Coroner Shane Evans and the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office responded to her suicide death.
Her father, Raheem Alla, also released a video on TikTok to confirm her tragic passing. A GoFundMe page was created to support her family with her funeral.
His father detailed on the fundraiser's page that his daughter suffered due to her mental health.
"My daughter Dazharia has left us early and has been call[ed] up to fly with the angels," Alla penned. "She was my little best friend and I wasn't prepared in no way, to bury my child."
Her mother, Jennifer Shaffer, also shared the heartbreaking news in an emotional Facebook update.
Shaffer, who was famously known as Dee on TikTok, had over 1.4 million followers on the platform. She would often post updates about her everyday life and perform viral challenges on the social media app.
