TikTok star Candice Murley shared a video claiming the ‘voices in her head had gone silent’ days before her mysterious death.
TikTok is mourning the death of influencer Candice Murley.
The 36-year-old mysteriously died Sunday, several days after claiming that the “voices in her head had gone silent.”
“We have received some news no one wants to hear, tonight we lost a huge part of our family, my sister Candice,” wrote Murley’s sister Marsha McEvoy, confirming the star’s passing on GoFundMe. “This was very unexpected, and our hearts are torn apart. Candice was so full of life and always lived life her own way.”
As of Thursday morning, the fundraiser had amassed more than $17,000, which McEvoy wrote will go towards covering Murley’s funeral cost, the NY Post reported. Meanwhile any leftover cash will be “put in a trust for [Murley’s] son Maxwell,” per the page.
The devastated sibling didn’t disclose the cause of Murley’s death. However, two days before she passed, the mother of one had uploaded an 8-second video in which she said, “I hate it when the voices in my head go silent because then I don’t know what those f***ers are up to.”
The alarming snippet followed a series of clips around the holidays, which included Murley playing with her cat Stash and slamming a beer while wishing the audience a “happy New Year.”
At the time of her death, Murley had more than 27,000 followers. Suffice it to say, TikTok had their own theories about what caused the late influencer’s tragic passing.
Some surmised that Murley had died due to “drug use,” and chastised the peanut gallery for glorifying her addiction.
“A lot of people here are really focusing on the online bullying and negative comments Candice received, a user by the name of Not Benard wrote. “Yes that was a major issue for sure, but please don’t bypass the fact that this is a clear indication of what mental illness, addiction, and substance abuse issues can do to a person.”
The commenter added: “Anyone watching her lately and saying, “She’s just having fun,” or, ‘She looked so happy,’ and, ‘So what if she does drugs or drinks,’ need to really think about what happened here and realize that it is not just the negative comments that can do harm, it’s when people turn a blind eye.”
Meanwhile, others claimed that cyberbullying was to blame. Fortunately, the lion’s share of posters offered their condolences.
“I’m actually in shock and saddened by this news,” said one crestfallen commenter. “Candice never pretended to be anybody else other than what she was.”
Another wrote, “Rest eas[y] Candice, Always enjoyed seeing your tic tocks on my fyp, and your kitty, may you rest eas[y] my condolences to your family.”
McEvoy described her sister as a person who was “full of energy and loved to dance & listen to her music.”
“More than anything in his world she loved her Son & her family dearly, we also can’t forget her cat Stash,” McEvoy wrote. “We just know she is dancing in the sky now, we all know how much she believed in Heaven, she is certainly there.”
The heartbroken sibling also lauded Murley’s TikTok presence, writing: “She had a fan base like no other, she was entertainment at her best, with her dancing and her cooking, and let’s not forget her scatter singing with her mic.”
“Let’s now look back at all her videos and keep them as our keepsakes to keep us smiling while we deal with this loss,” she added. “She will be missed terribly by many.”
