According to the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office via TMZ, Mikayla was found dead on June 20. She had hanged herself in a barn on her property. Adding to the tragedy, her husband was the one who discovered her. He previously said he spent 15 minutes performing CPR on her before EMTs arrived, but it was too late.
Ethan told fans that an “online bullying campaign” from people she knew had driven her to it — that she “felt as if the entire world had turned against her.” So heartbreaking.
Our hearts continues to be with Mikayla’s husband, daughter, and the rest of her loved ones. May she rest in peace.
