Niece Waidhofer

#Model and #influencer #NieceWaidhofer — who often worked to help her followers through their #mentalhealthstruggles — has died by #suicide … TMZ has learned.

Niece’s family tells us, “Sadly, Niece took her own life after a long battle with #mentalhealthissues.” The 31-year-old died in Houston, TX.

Her family says, “She was very open with her followers about her struggles, even wanting to help followers who also suffered.” We’re told a non-profit called “Peace from Niece” will be established in her honor, and the org will benefit #mentalhealthawareness and provide grants for #mentalillness research.

#James Donaldson notes:
Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.
Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.
Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space.  #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticle

Niece’s family says she took pride in the fact she wrote all of her #Instagram posts herself, and shot the majority of her photos without a professional photog.

As for the circumstances surrounding her death, law enforcement sources tell us they got a call from a concerned family member last month to check on Niece at her Houston-area residence … and that’s when she was discovered.

Fans of Waidhofer — who had amassed 4.2 million followers on Instagram — became concerned when she wiped her account of almost all of her photos … she left only 3 posts. Turns out she did that in the weeks leading up to her death.

Her family adds, “Niece was more than her struggles. She was beautiful and kind, sensitive and funny, creative and talented, generous and compassionate, thoughtful and challenging. While it is so very painful to say goodbye, we take comfort knowing she is reunited with her father, her three grandparents, her Uncle Rusty, and her beloved Puff; and that she is now free to be herself and, finally, at peace.”

RIP
