It is incredibly difficult to go through loss and suffering, but even more so when the public is invested too. This was the case for popular TikTok star Caitlyn Loane, who was just 19 years old when she died. As noted by People, the up-and-coming TikTok star was taking Australia by storm, making her tragic death that much more devastating. Her father, Phillip Loane, confirmed her death to The Mercury and later described his daughter as "a lovely, crazy young woman who was an invaluable member of our family," adding, "Words can't describe our loss."
Caitlyn was a fourth-generation farmer, and she shared her life and responsibilities with her 50,000 followers. "Her smile lit up the room," her mom, Richele Loane, said. "She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty — in some photos she has mud up to her knees."
The Loane family chose not to reveal Caitlyn's cause of death, but rather used the tragedy as an opportunity to talk about R U OK? Day in Australia. The day serves as a national day of action in Australia, with a specific focus on conversations surrounding suicide and the importance of mental health. "Every day should be 'R U OK?' Day," Caitlyn's family attested.
