YouTuber and Fox rescuer Mikayla Raines dead at 31 in tragic suicide
Ethan revealed that Raines was subjected to online bullying, including people who she thought were her friends. Additionally, he revealed that Raines was also suffering from mental health challenges before her tragic passing, including depression, autism, and borderline personality disorder.
He said, "As many of you know she was on the autism spectrum and while that made her life very difficult it allowed her to hyperfocus on one thing and that one thing was obviously animals."
Her husband took to 'Save a Fox' rescue's official Instagram account and revealed the tragic news via video to Mikayal Raines' followers.
Ethan wrote in the caption, "We have suffered a loss that is unimaginable. Mikayla was truly the most amazing and inspiring individual I have ever known, and not having her here makes everything feel empty. I feel broken. But I will continue her dream, and I hope to have your support going forward so that we can do good in her name."
Additionally, he vowed to continue her legacy of selflessness and kindness towards animals.
