A 30-year-old TikTok star has sadly died suddenly after months of posting content where she referenced feeling unwell and battling migraines.

Jehane Thomas, from Doncaster in the UK, was famous on the video-sharing platform for sharing her daily life as a mother. Her videos would include things such as shopping hauls, preparing packed lunches, and cleaning hacks that proved to be popular amongst parents and those who were just curious.

She had gained over 70,000 followers and over 1.3 million likes across her videos.

Thomas sadly passed away on Friday, March 17 as reported by Yorkshire Live, and there has since been an outpouring of condolences from her family, friends, and fans.

Videos on her profile detail her battle with optic neuritis, a condition caused by inflammation of the nerve that carries messages from the eye to the brain.

Her final video revealed how much pain she was in, where she explained that she was supposed to undergo surgery but it was canceled due to a large amount of fluid in her head.

"I can't lift my head up without wanting to be sick and I'm unable to walk," the mother-of-two penned while stating in the caption she was "struggling".

A GoFundMe page has been created by Thomas' friend Alyx Reast in order to support the family, including her children - three-year-old Isaac, and her one-year-old Elijah.

The description on the page further detailed Thomas' heartbreaking passing. It reads: "Jehane Thomas was a 30 year old, mum of two boys when she suddenly passed away on 17/03/2023. Despite suffering from migraines and bouts of illness for several months, her passing was totally unexpected and we are all absolutely heartbroken.

Reast added the money can't bring Thomas back, but she hopes it will make the two young boys more comfortable. In a message directly to her friend, Reast added: "I promised I’d do what I can for those boys, so that’s what I’m vowing to do. I love you."

There has been an outpouring of grief on Thomas' final video, with her fans commenting messages of condolence. One person wrote: "This is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry. Sending her boys and family so much love and strength."

Theresa Parker, a friend of Thomas, posted a heartbreaking statement on Facebook. She wrote: "I can’t tell you that I’m in shock to learn that my friend Jehane Thomas has suddenly passed away.

"I first met her at a previous job and we [were] in the same team. Then she was the person that introduced me to my now home based travel business. We have been to many events together and I know she will be sadly missed by those that knew her. Sending all my love to her family and especially her two boys."

Thomas' cause of death is currently unconfirmed and her family wishes for privacy at this time.

A 21-year-old TikTok star has tragically died, just days after telling followers she had weeks, maybe even days, left to live.

Dominique McShain's death was confirmed by PEOPLE on Wednesday (April 23), a year after the New Zealand-based content creator revealed she had been diagnosed with incurable colorectal cancer.

The exact date of her passing has not been disclosed.

The TikToker first made headlines in May 2024, shortly after she was diagnosed.

Then, a third-year psychology student, she was forced to abandon university plans and instead used her growing social media presence to raise awareness about colon cancer in young people.

“I was, until two weeks ago, a third-year psychology student, and I wanted to do clinical psychology eventually. And that would take another five years to study for,” she explained in her first video, which has since racked up more than 5.5 million views.

“Basically, I stopped work and uni because I have such severe cancer, and the treatment is so intense," she added.

The warning signs McShain initially dismissed included dizzy spells and blood in her stool, symptoms she would later highlight to educate others.

Earlier this month, on April 6, McShain posted what she said would be her final update.

“I want to be direct with you all: this will be my final update on my cancer journey until I have passed away,” she wrote. “I've recently been given a prognosis about 5 days ago of only a few days to a few weeks to live.”

She explained that her liver was “failing rapidly to the point of jaundice,” which caused her cancer to spread and made it impossible to continue with the chemotherapy she had been undergoing for seven months.

“At this point, I've transitioned into end-of-life care, focusing on pain relief and managing side effects, with so much time spent both in the hospital and hospice facilities,” she shared.

Despite the devastating news, her words were full of gratitude and peace. “My life may be short, but I genuinely think I've squeezed every bit out of it,” she wrote.

“I won the lottery with a family that loves me unconditionally, friends who would 10000% donate a liver to me or do anything they could (and probably argue over who gets to do it), and the sweetest husband, Sean, who's been my rock through everything - before and after my diagnosis," she added.

McShain and Sean Suson got engaged in May 2024, on her 21st birthday, months after her diagnosis, and were married that July. She later described their wedding as “the most special day ever".

“Of course, there are so many key adult moments I won’t get to experience, things I won’t get to be or have, and that’s something I’ve had to come to terms with,” she continued. “The grief of what I’m missing out on is no longer overwhelming, though. Recently, I’ve found a sense of acceptance.”

She ended the post by imagining what peace might look like for her: “Recently, I’ve been picturing Heaven often - a place where I’ll finally be free from the pain that’s been with me for so long. I imagine myself without the constant suffering, no longer needing medication just to survive the day.

"I’ll be able to run, to breathe, to feel whole... Though it will hurt to leave you all behind, please know that I will finally be out of pain, and I will be at peace," she said, concluding: “Please never forget I will always love you all so much and I will be forever grateful for the role each of you have played in my life."

McShain's fundraiser, originally set up to help cover treatments and travel costs, will now go toward her hospice care.

McShain's impact extends beyond her audience. By documenting the unfiltered realities of her diagnosis and speaking openly about symptoms, she helped shed light on a rising health crisis.

According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer rates in people under 50 have been increasing by 2.4% annually from 2012 to 2021.

In 2020 alone, over 1.9 million new colon cancer cases were recorded globally, with more than 930,000 deaths, per the National Library of Medicine.

Australia, New Zealand, and Europe currently have the highest incidence rates, and by the end of 2025, more than 107,000 new US cases are expected.

“I wanted to make a difference somehow and leave something behind and hopefully help people,” Dominique once said. And she did - more than she ever imagined.
