A week ago, the news generated an impact: the influencer Taylor Rousseau Grigg died suddenly at the age of 25. A TikTok and Instagram star, the young woman had thousands of followers and was very loved on social networks.
“No one expects to have to deal with pain and anguish like this, especially at our age,” wrote his partner Rousseau Grigg, in a moving publication in which he highlighted the bravery and strength of Taylor, who, according to him, had faced more pain and suffering in the last year than most people do in their entire life.
Now, Today published, citing family sources, that Taylor Rousseau died as a result of complications related to Addison’s disease and asthma.
Addison’s disease, also known as adrenal insufficiency, is a condition characterized by poor production of necessary hormones such as cortisol or aldosterone and can cause extreme fatigue, hypoglycemia, low blood pressure, muscle and abdominal pain, depression, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, among other symptoms.
The influencer’s last publication on the networks had been on September 26 on TikTok, where she appeared with her dog.
The couple had married a year ago.
Sometimes, the symptoms of Addison’s disease appear suddenly and can lead to life-threatening body failure.
Taylor had been a prominent figure on social media, amassing more than 1.4 million followers on TikTok and more than 214,000 on Instagram.

Despite deep sadness, Cameron expressed comfort in his faith, believing that his spirit is now at peace, free of pain, and “dancing in heaven.” He also mentioned that his wife will always be remembered for her unique style and her jewelry, referring to her collection of shoes, boots and accessories that characterized her so much.
The young influencer had thousands of followers on social networks.
What did he die of?
Taylor’s sudden death not only left an emotional void, but also a financial impact on the family. Cameron revealed that Taylor had been in and out of the hospital since they got married, which affected their financial situation and left them without health insurance.
Adrenal insufficiency, which includes Addison’s disease, is a disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of certain hormones. These include cortisol, which is essential for life and sometimes known as the “stress hormone.”
The most common symptoms are fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss and abdominal pain. Adrenal insufficiency can be caused by an autoimmune disease or the sudden discontinuation of steroid medications used to treat other conditions, among other causes.
Taylor’s sisters, Trinity and Bailey, also expressed their intense pain, in Trinity’s case because she will soon have to celebrate her 19th birthday without her. “He always hoped to leave his mark on this world, but never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined the legacy he leaves behind,” Bailey wrote about having his organs donated. “I know I never would have wanted to do it any other way.”
