According to TMZ, Nyweide died on Apr. 14. Her cause of death was unclear. In her obituary, she was described as a “kind and trusting girl.”
“Often this left her open to being taken advantage of by others,” the obituary reads. “She wrote and drew voraciously, and much of this art depicts the depths she had, and it also presents the pain she suffered. Many of her writings and artwork are roadmaps to her struggles and traumas.”
The obituary also revealed, “Even with those roadmaps, diagnoses and her revelations, those closest to her, plus therapists, law enforcement officers, and toehrs who tried to help her, are heartbroken their efforts couldn’t save her from her fate.”
It was further revealed that Nyweide was self-medicating to “deal with all the trauma and shame she held inside, and it resulted in her death.”
She repeatedly said she would ‘handle it’ on her own,” the obituary pointed out. “And was compelled to reject the treatment that might possibly have saved her life.”
