TikTok star Emman Atienza made her final post on the platform just two days before her tragic death by suicide.

Atienza, 19, was found at her home in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday. Her last TikTok, shared on October 20, featured a series of clips showing the lifestyle influencer enjoying time with friends—jumping into a lake, hiking, rock climbing, spending time at the beach, and getting ready for Halloween.

The lifestyle star’s final TikTok featured clips of her and her friends dancing together.

“Not only have I become infinitely more confident, secure, and authentic, I’ve also met so many amazing people along the way,” she wrote.

Atienza also shared that posting on social media had become a source of anxiety and dread due to “death threats” and bullying in the comments.

“I never really did social media for money,” she explained. “I did it for fun, self-expression, and community. Maybe I’d put up with the hate if I were receiving a paycheck every month. But my main reward was always the joy and passion I felt when posting—which has been fading.”

Weeks before her death, Atienza turned to Instagram to talk about possibly deactivating her TikTok account.

The TikTok star revealed that she felt “anxious” about sharing new content due to receiving “death threats” in the comments.

After deactivating her TikTok account last month to “collect my thoughts, reset my values & clear my head of the dread,” Atienza returned just one week later. On September 9, she posted a montage of LA activities with the caption, “Touched grass this week.”

Her final Instagram post, meanwhile, included a cryptic reference to a “murderer.”

Atienza’s final Instagram post featured a caption referencing a “murderer.”

“There’s a murderer on the last slide but he’s chill [don’t worry],” she wrote on August 18. The post included 14 photos, with the final image showing her friend relaxing on a couch wearing a Michael Myers mask from the Halloween horror films.

Her family announced her passing in an emotional Instagram message on Friday.

After temporarily deactivating her TikTok account, Atienza returned to the platform on Sept. 9.

Atienza’s family shared the news of her passing in an emotional Instagram post on October 24, 2025.

TMZ first reported that she had died at her Los Angeles home on October 22, with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner listing her cause of death as suicide.

“It’s with deep sadness that we share the unexpected passing of our daughter and sister, Emman,” her parents wrote. “She brought so much joy, laughter, and love into our lives and into the lives of everyone who knew her.”

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner reportedly listed Atienza’s cause of death as suicide.

“Emman had a way of making people feel seen and heard, and she wasn’t afraid to share her own journey with mental health,” they continued alongside 20 photos of Atienza through the years. “Her authenticity helped so many feel less alone.”

“To honor Emman’s memory we hope you carry forward the qualities she lived by: compassion, courage, and a little extra kindness in your everyday life,” Atienza’s loved ones continued.

Before her tragic passing, Atienza had built a significant social media presence, with nearly one million followers on TikTok and another 225,000 on Instagram. Her videos often gave fans a glimpse into her luxurious lifestyle.

The late star came from a prominent family. Her father, Kuya Kim Atienza, is a well-known Filipino TV host and weather anchor for TV Patrol and previously served three terms as councilor of Manila’s 5th District. Her mother, Felicia Atienza, is a successful fitness entrepreneur.
