Mexican influencer Aldo Miranda was found dead at his home Tuesday just hours after posting a cryptic message on social media.
The 32-year-old internet personality, renowned for his comedic posts, was discovered unresponsive near the window of his home in La Paz, located in the Pacific coastal region of Baja California.
Miranda, who boasted over 10 million TikTok followers, left a message in all capital letters on his Instagram Stories saying, ‘Thank you all for everything,’ prior to ending his own life.
Authorities accessed the influencer’s second-floor apartment at approximately 2:21 pm local time and discovered a cable tied around his neck, extending out from one of the windows, according to local news reports.
Baja California authorities are investigating the incident, but have not provided a motive for his death.
The TikToker’s management agency, Albe Group, which is owned by fellow influencer Mario Aguilar, lamented his untimely death in a heartbreaking statement Wednesday.
‘Today I find it hard to write this… Aldo Miranda was one of those people that life gave me thanks to social media, but over time, it became a true friendship, one that feels genuine, close, and valuable,’ Aguilar wrote.
‘Meeting him was incredible. He had a talent that captivated, moved, and inspired. He was also one of the first people to believe in me when I told him about Albe Group,’ he added.
