YouTuber Annabelle Ham found dead at 22

YouTube and TikTok star Annabelle Ham has died at the age of 22 after reportedly experiencing an “epileptic event”.

As reported by the New York Post, the news of Ham’s death was confirmed by her university sorority chapter. While an official cause of death is yet to be determined, the content creator’s family shared that Ham had experienced an “epileptic event”. Her sister, Alexandria, told the New York Post that Ham had “struggled with epilepsy for a while”.

Alexandria said, “Honestly, she was just all that’s good in this world. She was the life of the party, a spark-plug, she loved everyone she met and everyone loved her too. She was always so happy and looked for ways to make every day, situation, or outing better. There really aren’t adequate words for how good she was.”

Ham boasted an incredible 78,000 subscribers on YouTube and 34,000 on TikTok, where she’d regularly post fashion and beauty content, and lifestyle videos showcasing her life as a student.

The YouTuber’s other sister, Amelia, also shared a message: “Sometimes I don’t understand why God does things but, I can't even put into words how hard this is. You would never think something like this would or could happen to you until it does.” She continued, “She was so sweet, so pretty with the most bluest eyes ever, she was always happy and [lit] up every room. but god was ready for her. I know she always wanted to live life to the fullest, that’s what we have to do now. and I know she is dancing around in heaven right now. I can't wait to give [you] a big hug one day.”

Ham’s sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi, wrote, “Annabelle Ham was such a light in our chapter. She had an amazing impact on each and every sister in Beta Zeta. She was caring, selfless and carried so much love inside of her heart. She always had a smile on her face and never failed to put a smile on others. To know her is to love her. She lived everyday to the fullest. We will keep her and her beautiful soul close to our hearts. She will forever be missed by all of us and anyone who was blessed to know her.”

Fans left their own messages of condolences. “I love you. Watched you on YouTube during my childhood,” one wrote. “Rest in peace Annabelle. Thank you for creating content I loved through the years,” said another.
