Famous TikTok personality, Kyle Marisa Roth, known for her entertaining content on celebrity gossip, died unexpectedly at the age of 36, her family verified last week. Roth’s sudden death has left her followers in a state of shock.
Originally from Pennsylvania and a Lehigh University alumnus, Roth had a diverse background, including being a former lacrosse player and a one-time aspiring medical student. However, she decided to concentrate on building her TikTok presence, where she attracted over 200,000 followers with her humorous takes on Hollywood and celebrities.
Lindsay Roth, Kyle’s sister, disclosed the news of her sibling’s death on Instagram on Monday, April 15, 2024, expressing the family’s sorrow and uncertainty about the events leading to Kyle’s death. “We are still figuring out the best way to celebrate and honor her life,” Lindsay noted, hinting that more details would follow.
Expressing her grief online, Julia Fox, a fellow influencer and actress, stated, “I felt like I knew Kyle from her videos,” and wished that Roth had not endured any suffering in her final days.
In a touching LinkedIn post, Kyle’s mother, Jacquie Cohen Roth, shared her feelings: “Kyle loved and lived with great passion. Right now, nothing is clear, but we expect to learn more in the coming days. Please, be kind to each other,” she urged.
Kyle Roth was a vocal supporter of several causes, including raising awareness for colon cancer, a disease she had successfully fought off, and advocating for indigenous rights. Her commitment to these issues was evident in her videos and public interactions, making her a source of inspiration for many.
In a post on Instagram two months prior to her death, Roth openly discussed her battle with depression, letting her followers know she was suffering from severe panic attacks, which she described as the most intense she had ever experienced. Her plea, “Please don’t tell me it will be okay,” now carries a chilling resonance.
Molly McPherson, a public relations professional who had worked with Kyle, reflected on her final interaction with the TikTok star: “I was unable to reach her in the last few days and was devastated by her loss,” McPherson said, describing Roth as “brilliant, smart, and full of boundless energy.”
Roth, despite her dynamic online persona and the joy she brought to her audience, had to confront continuous health challenges. Following her battle with cancer, she openly discussed the numerous surgeries she underwent and their physical impact on her body.
