Annabelle Ham’s cause of death revealed: YouTube influencer’s family


Influencer Annabelle Ham died last week after an “epileptic event,” her family said Tuesday.

“This is Annabelle’s family. We’re writing this with heavy, heavy hearts,” reads a caption of a family photo posted to the 22-year-old content creator’s Instagram account.

“Annabelle experienced an epileptic event and has gone on to the gates of heaven. She struggled with this for a long time and wanted to raise awareness for it, which we will do in honor of her,” the statement read.

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by repeated seizures, according to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.

An official cause of death has not been made public.

One of Ham’s sisters, Alexandria, told The Post on Tuesday that Ham “struggled with epilepsy for a while.”

“Honestly — she was just all that’s good in this world. She was the life of the party, a spark-plug, she loved everyone she met and everyone loved her too,” Alexandria said in a message.

“She was always so happy and looked for ways to make every day, situation, or outing better. There really aren’t adequate words for how good she was.”
