TikTok’s Taylor Rousseau Grigg “fought for life” before dying

TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg tearfully described the pain she experienced months before her unexpected death.

“One girl said I just looked like the life had been sucked out of me. Honestly, for a while that’s true,” Taylor said in a TikTok video posted on August 8th. “I feel like I’m fighting for life every day. When I didn’t necessarily know what was wrong with me, I would lay in bed in pain and just wish I was dead because I just wanted it to stop, and I don’t necessarily feel that way now.”

While holding back tears, the social media star expressed her belief that she was too young to be so uncomfortable.

“It just sucks because I’m 24 years old,” she said. “I should be in my prime. I should be able to walk to the mailbox or run, but those are things I can’t really do right now.”

Cameron, who married the influencer in August 2023, did not confirm Taylor’s cause of death.

In a TikTok video from August, Taylor explained that she became ill shortly after marrying her husband. It wasn’t until a year later that she got answers.

“I barely figured out what was wrong with me, so I just struggled with the feeling I was dying the whole time,” she said. “That’s exactly what I told Cameron the other day. It just feels like I have to fight for life to live every single day. And that’s hard for someone and of course you notice that when I’m filming.”

Responding to fans who thought she looked unhappy, Taylor explained that she was “maybe unhappy with the circumstances my body is in.”

However, she assured fans that her husband has been nothing but supportive of her through her health issues.

“Cameron is the best thing that ever happened to me,” she said. “He got me out of the hole I was in. He has carried me and is still carrying me, and has been for some time. He is a great husband and a great guy. If he made me unhappy, I would have left.”

Since Taylor’s death, Cameron has started a GoFundMe page and announced that he is working on a fundraiser in his wife’s honor.
