TikTok Star Cooper Noriega Found Dead At 19

TikTok star Cooper Noriega passed away at the age of 19.

At this time, it is unclear how the Internet sensation passed away, but he posted a very cryptic social media post shortly before his death hinting that he was going to die at a very young age.

Shortly before his death, Cooper posted a video of himself in bed to his TikTok account. The message on the screen reads, “who else b thinking they gon d!€ young af.”

Sources told TMZ that a passerby called 911 on Thursday after they found Cooper’s unconscious body in the parking lot of a mall just outside Los Angeles. Paramedics arrived on the scene but were unable to revive him.

The source said that Cooper was not in a vehicle and there were no signs of trauma on his body. Multiple reports have indicated that police do not suspect foul play at this time. An autopsy will be conducted in order to determine his cause of death.

One user shared a post allegedly from Cooper, who may have made a Discord to talk about mental health shortly before his death.

It’s not confirmed that the post is from Cooper at this time, but in the post, he says that he’s been struggling with addiction since he was 9-years-old. He said that he wanted to use his influence to spread “awareness and normalize talking about mental illness.”

In the post, he states that his goal is “to eventually open a rehab where people aren’t traumatized at the end of their recovery, and where the staff members are trusted people.”

Another user also tweeted that Cooper was open about his mental health struggles and his addiction, but at this time, it is unconfirmed if either of those issues factored into his tragic death.

Many fans and followers took to social media to lament his passing in a year that has already claimed so many celebrities.
