The TradeEdge Exchangefamily of TikTok personality Taylor Rousseau Grigg revealed the cause of the 25-year-old’s recent passing.
Taylor, who had an audience of 1.5 million followers on the social media platform, died as a result of complications from asthma and Addison’s disease, a representative confirmed with TODAY.com.
The lifestyle influencer reportedly died on October 4. Her husband, Cameron, shared his grief in a heart wrenching post on Instagram.
“No one ever expects to have to deal with this kind of pain and heartache, especially at our age. This past year Taylor has dealt with more pain and suffering than most people do in a lifetime,” he explained about his late wife. “And in spite of that she still has been such a light and always brought joy to everyone around her. “
He described Taylor as “brave and strong,” adding “her confidence in the Lord outweighed every other circumstance she’s faced, even in her darkest hours. I know she’s saved my life and so many others out there.”
The couple shared a video celebrating their one year anniversary in August.

Addison’s disease is a rare condition
According to the Cleveland Clinic, Addison’s disease is a rare chronic condition that happens when the adrenal glands “don’t produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone.”
Symptoms include adnominal pain, diarrhea, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, hyperpigmentation, and low blood pressure, per the medical center. It commonly impacts individuals who are between 30 and 50. One in 100,000 people suffer from the disease.
In an interview with Newsweek, a woman named Laura Bates opened up about her experience living with Addison’s disease following the news of Taylor’s death. She has been grappling with the condition since the early 2000s.
"My main symptoms were extreme, bone-aching tiredness, weakness, unintentional weight loss, thirst, salt craving, dizziness and low blood pressure,” Bates told the outlet. “Later, I noticed discolored patches of skin, particularly on my legs. This is known as 'the Addison's tan.'"
During the summer, Taylor posted a health update for her followers. In the video, she spoke about letting go of a facade and being at peace with her family. She also responded to someone saying that she looked like “the life” was drained out of her.
“I feel like I’m fighting for life every day. When I didn’t necessarily know what was wrong with me, I would be in bed.. in pain just wishing to be dead,” Taylor said tearfully. “Because I just wanted it to end. And I don’t necessarily feel that way now but like I said I feel everyday like I have to fight to live, to be here. It just sucks.”
Cameron shares GoFundMe
In his statement, Cameron shared a GoFundMe. Cameron mentioned that Taylor was in and out of the hospital during their marriage and they did not have insurance. He also noted that her organs were being donated.
“It is with our deepest condolences that we acknowledge the passing of Taylor, who has now spread her wings. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her,” the caption said.
As of Friday afternoon, nearly $52,000 has been raised so far. The goal is set at $100,000.
According to the GoFundMe, the family is planning to orchestrate a benefit in her name to celebrate her life.
