Although the reason for this death is unclear, fans of the TikTok personality took to his channel to pay their respects on his videos, as well as making #rip videos of their own. After researching more into the death and his recent video, many went back to the post-Cooper uploaded onto Instagram on the 4th of June. In the post, he stated that he was starting a discord page for “mental health strictly.” He wrote, “I’ve been struggling with addiction since I was 9 years old, you may think that’s crazy but that’s the life I’ve been dealt. I would like to use the influencer I’ve been given to create a space built on spreading awareness and normalising talking about mental illness.”
The star will evidently be missed as many of his fans and followers were devastated upon hearing the news. “Plz someone tell me it’s not true he’s not actually gone” was just one of the comments after Cooper Noriega’s death.
