Beloved vlogger Annabelle Ham has sadly died at the shockingly young age of just 22 years old.
On Instagram Tuesday, the family of the YouTuber took to her account to share the tragic news. According to her relatives, the young woman died of an “epileptic event”:
“This is Annabelle’s family. We’re writing this with heavy, heavy hearts. Annabelle experienced an epileptic event and has gone on to the gates of heaven. She struggled with this for a long time and wanted to raise awareness for it, which we will do in honor of her.”
So, so sad… 22 years is no time at all…
The post continues to talk about how loved and cherished the Kennesaw State University student was:
“Annabelle was beautiful and inspiring and lived life to the fullest. Everyone she met was inspired by her energy and the light inside her soul that shined so bright. She was, and will forever be, so so loved.”
The family also asked for prayers and privacy as they’re just beginning to grieve the unimaginable loss — but said they’d share more later:
“We’re asking for your prayers of peace for her family and friends during this difficult time, and to allow all of us the chance to grieve and work through this as a family. Please don’t post or spread speculation or details that are unfounded. There will be a time to share more details and to go deeper into her life.”
They also made clear that as of now, Annabelle’s social media accounts will remain intact for fans:
“Her accounts will be used to share what she went through and the joys she brought to all of us. Unnecessary comments only serve to hurt us all, this is a time for remembrance and mourning. Thank you.”
