A message on the Facebook page of YouTube star Soncerae Smith says Smith’s family is asking for privacy while it deals with the “circumstances surrounding her passing.”
The post, which hints that Smith committed suicide, says she had been the victim of “harassment” and “stalking.” Heavy has not yet independently confirmed Smith’s death.
The message on Smith’s personal Facebook page, posted April 29, reads:

An April 29 post on Smith’s YouTube channel reads: “Hey family, it’s your moderator Mark. It is my honor and privilege to now operate Soncerae’s social media pages including FB & IG. My dear friend is loved and missed and we want to make sure her message of positivity and love still spreads far and wide. Our friends and family ask for privacy at this time and a deeper level of understanding.”
On May 1, a Facebook post appeared on Smith’s page which was credited to the YouTube star’s daughter, Dominique. The post reiterated the fact that her mother had passed away. One paragraph of the post reads, “We understand your concerns however we ask that everyone respect our privacy. Although Soncerae has lived most of her life in the eyes of the public, we haven’t. From this point on we want to be at peace and privately move forward with our lives.”
The post goes on to say that Soncerae Smith, Dominique, her father, were all victims of harassment. The post adds that it will be the final statement from the family on Smith’s death.
Heavy has made extensive attempts to contact members of Smith’s family. One friend of Smith’s, who had been in contact with her in April 2020 had “no idea” a Facebook post said that she had died.
