Making Noriega’s untimely passing even more chilling is the fact that it came just days after the young model opened up online about his struggles with substance abuse and mental illness.

“If you’re really into getting your emotions out, or whatever, come join,” he said in a video posted to his popular TikTok account earlier this week. “I created the server because of how much I love you guys and how much I struggle with it myself.”

“I’ve been struggling with addiction since I was 9 years old, you may think that’s crazy but that’s the life I’ve been dealt,” Noriega said later the same day on his Instagram page. “I would like to use the influence I’ve been given to create a space built on spreading awareness and normalizing talking about mental illness.”

“One of the many things I’ve learned while struggling with addiction was that surrounding yourself with negative people will only bring you down,” he concluded. “For that reason, Discord is meant to bring us all together and create a safe space where people can vent and help others through their tough times.”
