Lil Tay's Fans, Manager Question Family's Report of her Death

Lil Tay (her real name is Claire Hope), is a 14 year old Instagram influencer. Her family (or someone--it's not signed) posted a statement to her Instagram, stating that she had died. No information about her alleged death was included. There are reports that her father used to abuse her, and other reports that her brother Tian is also dead. https://www.instagram.com/liltay/

This from Instagram user Dred Scott: "SHE ALIVE CHECK MY STORY, THE COPS CANT EVEN CONFIRM A DEATH UNDER HER NAME OR BROTHERS NAME".

The 14 year old divides her time between her mom who lives in Los Angeles, and her father who lives in Vancouver Canada.

Page Six reports: Lil Tay’s alleged ex-manager is questioning the validity of her death announcement after the anonymous statement was posted to her Instagram account.

“One thing I would question is who posted that statement and why isn’t it signed by anyone from the family,” the person, who didn’t want to be named, told the US Sun on Wednesday.

“Why is it not signed, ‘This is Tay’s mom,’ or ‘This is the dad of Lil Tay,’ or from an official representative? Why is there no attachment?”

The alleged former manager claimed that the lack of attribution was suspicious since the statement announced that the influencer’s brother, Jason, had also died.

“I should be grieving right now … but I just have so many questions,” the person added. https://pagesix.com/2023/08/09/lil-tays-alleged-former-manager-questions-validity-of-death-announcement/
