What happened to Taylor Rousseau Grigg? TikTok star’s cause of death revealed after sudden death at 25

TikTok personality Taylor Rousseau Grigg's cause of death has been recently made official. The news comes around seven days after her sudden demise on October 4, 2024. The social media star was 25 years old at the time of death and her husband Cameron confirmed the same the following day through Instagram.

Notably, a representative for Taylor Rousseau Grigg's family told Today.com that her death was a result of complications emerging out of her struggle with asthma and Addison's disease.

Asthma is a condition where the airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, causing breathing problems, coughing, and wheezing. While it can't be cured, its symptoms can be managed.

Addison's disease occurs when the body doesn't produce enough hormones, including cortisol and aldosterone. It can be treated with hormone replacement, but it is life-threatening if untreated.
