A TikTok influencer has taken her own life at the age of just 19 years old.
According to The Daily Mirror, Caitlyn Loane had managed to accrue more than 97,000 followers on the social media platform with her vlog posts all about working on a farm in rural Tasmania.
Loane often shared footage of herself sowing crops and managing livestock, and had recently opened a farmer's festival in Tasmania in June, where she was involved in judging cattle.
The Mirror reports that her parents have since confirmed that the young woman committed suicide by currently unknown means on Saturday, July 17.
Per the above publication, Loane's father Philip said in an official statement: "Words can't describe our loss. She was a lovely, crazy young woman who was an invaluable member of our family."
Meanwhile, her mother stated that her smile "lit up the room" and that she "wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty."
Caitlyn's last video, posted days before her death, has now been flooded with attention from other TikTok users offering condolences.
Indeed, the clip above currently boasts over 1 million views, 119,000 reactions, and a further 8,000 comments as of the time of writing.

For example, one sympathetic commenter wrote: "We all would [have] driven to the end of the earth to help you through... rest in paradise beautiful soul."

Another stated: "What a horrible loss. May heaven be filled with plenty of farm animals to keep you happy, Caitlyn. If anyone is in despair please ask for help. So sad."

Then this user chimed in: "This is so sad bless you Caitlyn you always made me smile now [...] Rest in Peace. [sic]"
