This April, Nicole revealed she was pregnant on her social media with a sweet message. Over the course of her influencer career, the star garnered around 76,000 YouTube subscribers as well as 123,000 Instagram followers.

This isn’t the only time a YouTuber has passed away over the last year. In 2019, Grant Thompson, known as The King of Random, departed from the Regional Airport in Hurricane, Washington County, Utah with a paraglider.
The YouTuber was reported missing that evening around 10:30 pm due to an overdue paraglider. Due to the GPS he had on him at the time of death, the authorities were able to find his body.
According to YouTube Fandom, Thompson’s exact cause of death hasn’t been revealed because the case is still under investigation.
