The Viral Clown Video That Sparked Concern
Izaguirre's last TikTok post has now gone viral for all the wrong reasons. In the 33-second clip, she appeared in bright clown makeup, visibly emotional as she lip-synced to a heartbreak song. Her caption read: 'All the promises of my love will go with you. Why are you leaving?'

On 6 September, police tracked Izaguirre to a hotel in Morelia, where she had reportedly been staying alone for several days. Authorities said she was in poor health and was rushed to hospital. Doctors later declared her brain-dead due to serious health complications. She died on 12 September.
The Michoacán Prosecutor's Office has not confirmed the exact cause of her decline, only that her health collapsed rapidly. Her sudden and unexplained condition has led to speculation online, with fans demanding more transparency.
Despite the mystery surrounding her final days, officials confirmed her vehicle was also found at the hotel, deepening the puzzle over what exactly happened in her last hours.

Fellow influencer Marcelo Alcazar posted a moving tribute: 'In the short time I knew you, you were a wonderful girl, with a smile that never went away. You're an angel, and you always were.'
Her family also confirmed they would donate her organs, including skin, corneas, kidneys and skeletal muscle — a decision praised by many as a final gesture of generosity and humanity.
