Update on Oct. 10: TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg’s cause of death has been revealed.
According to Today, Grigg died on Oct. 4 from complications related to asthma and Addison’s disease, a representative for her family told the news outlet.
As the Mayo Clinic reports, “Addison’s disease, also called adrenal insufficiency, is an uncommon illness that occurs when the body doesn’t make enough of certain hormones. In Addison’s disease, the adrenal glands make too little cortisol and, often, too little of another hormone, aldosterone. Addison’s disease can affect anyone and can be life-threatening.”
In an August TikTok, Grigg shared that she had once been an athletic person, but was no longer healthy or in good shape, and “hadn’t been in a longtime.”
Grigg’s said she fell ill after marrying her husband in August 2023. “You’re seeing me be sick for the whole time that we’re married and not finding out what was wrong until this year … I barely found out what was wrong with me. I was struggling that whole time feeling like I was going to die,” she explained.
“It just sucks because I’m 24 years old, I should be in my prime, I should be able to carry my suitcase up the stairs, I should be able to walk to the mailbox, or run, and those are just things that I can’t really do right now.”
