Another twink bites the dust.

Aw, he was cute.

Who?!

Sweet face. :o(

How did he go into a coma to begin with?

He could play Ellen if he were still alive.

background on the coma and brain death, please?

I’m guessing either suicide attempt or drugs. That’s probably why it’s not mentioned explicitly.

19 years old with 2 children already? Yikes!

What's the FUCKING POINT of being social media exhibitionists and NOT sharing how this cutie dies so young?

He had a kid when he was 17.

GHETTO.

Can we blame Coronoavirus?

*coronavirus

He packed a lot of living into 20 years. Born in 2000 and had a wife and 2 kids. I’ve got t-shirts I wear around the house that are that old.

19 years old, married with two kids?

He’s better off dead.

size verificatia?

Cute, virile.

“He was meant to make it to his next birthday. He was meant to walk his daughters down the isle.”

OH MY!!

Drug binge gone awry like this Christopher Burrous?

Has Susan Dey commented yet?

He had child-bearing hips:

Having escaped from that relationship, he's in a better place.

[quote]He had child-bearing hips:

Well, he gave birth to two kids.

You're terrible, R19.

He may have tried to hang himself and ended up brain dead.

Cut or uncut?

"Traumatic brain injury" with no explanation that it was an accident of some kind suggests that he shot himself. Horrible.

R19 - don't twinks these days have a body shape like this? Too much phthalates when they are in utero.

I love how they make it seem that the family donating his organs makes HIM a hero and a great dad.

These people are delusional and belong on another planet.

Honestly, when I saw the pic at r1 I thought both were girls.

[quote]R4 How did he go into a coma to begin with?

Maybe his head was hitting the headboard too hard?

He had to be gay, right?

Definite gayface, R30.

Which would be a huge trial for a guy who happened to be straight... but if he really was gay... stuck with a wife and kiddies at 17??? With no way to get away from the wife and kids, if youtubing was his job? If I'm right about the gayface, I strongly suspect a suicide attempt, but haven't checked out any of his videos. Does he visibly smell cookies?

Clues are right there. TBI and his wife isn’t coming out saying it was due to sudden illness. You can have brain injury from cardiac arrest or stroke, among other things. But she’s not telling people the cause when if it was due to unexpected medical condition, there would be the expected public outpouring of sympathy. Likely the truth is a bit darker, hope I’m wrong but something seems off.

I haven't watched but my impression from reading about them is that their YouTube channel (Cam and fam I think?) was about how great they're doing as super young parents. Second baby born just a few months ago.

Yeah, well, everything people post on social media and youtube is fake, calculated to impress rather than to tell the truth.

If anyone posts on social media or youtube about how perfect their family life is, you can bet your last dollar that they're miserable and feel trapped and desperate.

Why is their channel popular? Do people really encourage this stuff? He was probably a homophobic Christian.

did he off himself?

^^^That’s the unspoken rumor

R32, you can have brain injury as a result of cardiac arrest, but it wouldn't be traumatic brain injury. Violent (traumatic) injury to the brain strongly suggests either an accident (e.g. car accident or fall from a high place) or deliberate injury, typically a bullet. If there was an accident, that would likely have been prominently mentioned in the announcement. The combination of "traumatic brain injury" and lack of explanation strongly suggest suicide or foul play.

R38 You could get TBI from cardiac arrest, had a patient who suffered TBI from knocking his head on the floor after he suffered cardiac arrest. So while the trauma is from the fall, the reason for the fall e.g. medical problem was cardiac arrest.

Very sad. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait..... This twinkie is straight? He fucks girls? I’m sorry but his looks say otherwise.

It was suicide. She just posted on YouTube. Really sad. She's pretty articulate, seems smart.

Honestly, if I was married to her at 19 with 2 kids already I'd probably kill myself too.

If you have a half an hour - -

SPOILER ALERT: he hung himself in the garage.

Can I have his stuff?

Landon Clifford dies at 19: YouTuber's wife reveals his cause of death in emotional video

YouTube star Landon Clifford, who was declared brain dead on Aug. 18 following six days in a coma, died by suicide, his wife revealed Friday. He was 19.

In a new YouTube video, "My Husband Passed Away | Telling His Story," Camryn Clifford opened up about her husband's battle with anxiety, depression, ADHD and addiction.

"This is definitely going to be the hardest video I've ever had to make," Camryn, 19, began. "It took a while for me to obviously get over the initial shock… and to just gather my feelings and my thoughts and to feel like I'm ready to tell his story. It's a very important story to be told and it's my job to tell it, but it's not an easy story to tell, at all."

Camryn explained that Landon "started falling into a depression" when she got pregnant with their second daughter, a pregnancy the couple planned. Camryn and Landon, who married in June 2019, share daughters Collette Briar, 2, and Delilah Rose, who was born in May. The couple rose to prominence documenting their lives as teen parents on the YouTube channel Cam&Fam, which has garnered over 1.3 million subscribers.

"Behind the scenes, he was always just kind of going through his own stuff," she said. "He has had mental health issues for as long as I have known him."

According to Camryn, Landon fell into a "vicious cycle" of abusing his "highly addictive” ADHD and anti-anxiety medications that were prescribed by a psychiatrist after he "did the right thing" to seek help.

"It was a lethal mixture of these two very strong, heavy drugs… He just kind of fell in a hole," Camryn said. "He just kept taking more and more for his body to feel the effects. It was very unhealthy."

Camryn said she "wasn’t even aware" of her husband's struggle until he was "heavy in his addiction." The young mother said she was also battling depression around the same time throughout her second pregnancy.

After Delilah was born, Camryn said they were "really happy" for a while before slipping into another bout of depression as the adjustment to two children "hit us hard." She said they took a break from their YouTube channel because it was "mentally exhausting" only showing "the good parts" and went to stay with their respective families to heal.

"When we felt that we were ready, we went back to Austin (Texas) together, back to our home," Camryn said, adding that Landon continued taking his anti-depressants but had stopped taking ADHD and anti-anxiety medications. "It just really seemed like things were looking up."

On Aug. 13, however, Camryn said she "could tell something was wrong" after he apologized and "put a lot of blame on himself" for everything they had went through.

"I gave him a hug, a kiss and I told him I love him and that it's okay and that no matter what he ever did, I would always love him," she recalled. "After that he seemed okay."

Landon went to take a bath but she realized the bathroom was empty when she went to check on him 30 minutes later. After looking through all the rooms in their house, Camryn said she found Landon unresponsive in the garage.

"There's no words to describe how I felt at that time," she tearfully said. "Very few people will ever understand."

Camryn said Landon was declared brain dead on Aug. 18 after spending six days hospitalized in a coma. Camryn said he was registered as an organ donor and donated his organs.

"He donated everything. He wanted to save as many people as possible," she said. "He always put others above himself. Even in death, he was caring about people."

Camryn added: "If he knew everything that would follow after he did what he did, he wouldn't have. That's why I am here to tell his story because there are so many people out there who need to hear about what comes after."

On Aug. 21, Camryn shared an Instagram photo that appeared to show her hand resting on Landon's chest in the hospital. She revealed that her husband died on Aug. 19.

"August 13th 2020 was Landon’s last day being the best dad and husband he could be," she wrote. "He died saving the lives of others. That’s the type of person he was. Compassionate, loving, thoughtful, kind, and gentle. He was an amazing husband and the best father those girls could of ever asked for."

Camryn wrote in her post that she is saddened her daughters "will never get to truly know" their father.

"He was so young and had so much more life to live," she continued. "This isn’t how things were supposed to go. He was meant to make it to his next birthday. He was meant to walk his daughters down the aisle. He was meant to die old with me. Words can not come close to describe the pain I feel."

Camryn capped off her post noting that she will "make sure our girls know how much he loved us."

"He’s looking down on us from heaven and his light will shine through the clouds when we look up at him," she added. "May he rest peacefully."

On Tuesday, Camryn posted a photo of herself with her older daughter to her Instagram Story, writing that her husband's memory lives on through their children.

"The best parts of him are still alive in them," she wrote. "whenever I miss him I just give my girls a big hug."

Married and a parent too young. Over-exposed on social media. Probably had out of control depression and other mental health issues. It looks like the girl was the driver in the relationship. She needs to get off the stage now and pay attention to the kids.

" "Behind the scenes, he was always just kind of going through his own stuff," she said. "He has had mental health issues for as long as I have known him." According to Camryn, Landon fell into a "vicious cycle" of abusing his "highly addictive” ADHD and anti-anxiety medications that were prescribed by a psychiatrist after he "did the right thing" to seek help. "

Like I said, EVERYTHING you see on social media and youtube is fake, it's what people want you to believe about their lives. The truth is always, always, always, uglier.

Breeders should not be allowed to breed till they're at least 30

At 17, I had severe depression. No hope in hell would I have had kids and gotten married. Perhaps he thought it would help him though.

I feel sorry for the kids. Mum and dad too young to look after themselves let alone kids, both parents had depression. Dad kills himself. Doesn't look too good for them.

babies having babies.

Probably closeted, got in way too deep with the girl and two kids at 19 and saw no other way out. Could never live his truth. Sad.

These people who live their lives on YouTube are awful. Those who subscribe and watch are worse.

With a million + YouTube subscribers shouldn't they have been raking in the dough? Why would she need a Gofundme?

I hate to say it but she'll probably be dating again by the middle of next month.

I wondered the same about the GoFundMe. I think they can probably afford his funeral costs.

Poor kid.

As for the GoFundMe... I presume the youtube channel was their chief means of support, and that's gone now, the same people who want to coo over cute kids with cute babies won't want to watch a youtube channel about a teenaged widow struggling to raise two kids and/or trying to find a new man.

So maybe she's got some money in the bank, maybe she hasn't, either way she's a kid of college age who doesn't have a college degree and who's got to raise and support two kids. There's no way she has enough money in the bank from a youtube channel that she'll never have to work again, so the GoFundMe is the last-gasp chance to squeeze some money out of the busted youtube balloon. Maybe she'll get enough money to go to college, but what are the odds that someone who had two kids by 19 has that much success.

When your teenaged babydaddy has severe mental health issues, great iime to pop out yet another kid.

Ugh! That girl just likes to hear the sound of her own voice and d r a a a a a g s o u t her narrative WAY TOO LONG.

I’d have offed myself, too, if had to spend the rest of my life with her.

And oh god the jump cuts.

I’ve seen this discussed elsewhere. On Reddit, where there was very brief, very veiled mention of his possibly being closeted gay. Not even the merest suggestion on DM.

I don’t watch the show, but just googling, all you see are articles and interviews by the widow/baby mama. She comes across as a greedy and unpleasant shrew. My involuntary thought was “no wonder he killed himself!” I’m sorry for him, hopefully he’s at peace now.

Watched a couple of their videos, not that I'd recommend it. He looks desperate and too people-pleasy. She's cold - narcissistic or sociopathic. The whole spiel about his drug addiction is covering her ass - she talked about their last night together - she went out partying with a friend lol. Came home, and he "apologized" (for babysitting all night?) Then she thought he was taking a bath (after an emotional break-down apology?) and finally, when a kid made noise, she checked on the kid and thought she'd look in the bathroom because he'd been there so long, then found him in the garage, hanging. Points out she then went to the kitchen to get a knife to cut him down...

Eerie stuff. Her eyes look so dead in every video/photo. Poor guy - trying to find himself and snared by a black widow... ugh.

Do-overs!

This story is the horrors of heterosexuality in a nutshell. People end up having babies because they want to feel loved or are desperate to be straight or think it'll give their life meaning or they just get careless... and find they're trapped. There are no good options, when you've become a parent, and you find that being a parent hasn't made you feel loved, or straight, or given your life meaning, or whatever it is you wanted out of the sex and/or pregnancy.

And this is why the quote about "lives of quiet desperation" won't go away, everyone remembers it for a reason.

If you still want to party, then don’t have kids.

You can certainly see the first child being an “oops” but then to have another so quickly. . . crazy.

I just learned about them. Terrible and sad. Just found this thread. Going to read.

He was so cute.

[quote]R33 their YouTube channel was about how great they're doing as super young parents.

I guess everything we see on the internet isn’t true (?)

The bitch had a lucky escape. He could have killed her and her two brats.

[quote] When your teenaged babydaddy has severe mental health issues, great iime to pop out yet another kid.

Yes, at least wait until he’s recorded a few hit albums first!

He strikes me as more retarded than gay.

Awww, I did a rabbit hole of them last year and found him so sweet and engaging and put up with her vocal fry just to see him. This is very sad and I hope that talk and resolution that she would love him no matter what is true, and he at least felt that before hanging himself. All I could think of was poor Judy force feed those amphetamines to get her up, going and on in the morning and the barbiturates at night to put her to sleep. It makes me question what psychiatry looks like and functions in conservative Texas. I hope he’s at peace, she does seem, and has always come off as a work horse of strength so I hope that’s true and she can power forward. At what point though does she hide those videos as her kids become tech savvy and then introduce them to her daughters?

Bites the dust? OP, what the fuck is wrong with you? It's not cute, or funny. It's disrespectful, rude, nasty, and ugly.

You must be an awful human being.
