Kagney Linn Karter struggled with mental health issues

Kagney Linn Karter’s suicide was also confirmed by her friends who have now started a GoFundMe on behalf of her mom Tina, to help her cover the expenses of her daughter’s funeral. 

The two women behind the GoFundMe claim to be fitness studio owners, ones that Kagney would reportedly frequently visit in Cleveland, Ohio. The duo shared kind words about their departed friend on GFM. “Kagney was a woman who wore many hats; she was a performer, a singer, a dancer, a daughter, and a friend. She first came to our Cleveland studio in November of 2019, freshly moved out of L.A., rearing and ready to jump back in to pole, in a brand new community where she knew no one and no one knew her.” 

The statement further read, “Unfortunately, despite all of her many impressive accomplishments and talents, Kagney struggled with mental health issues as the years passed by.”

They added, “Even in her darkest days, however, she still showed up to the studio, always ready to learn, contribute, better herself in whatever small way she could manage. As alone as she undoubtedly felt within the confines of her own head, she continued to make an effort to show up for her friends and the community who cared about her. She fought her own battles with the same tenacity and drive she showed in every other area of her life, with as much strength as she could.”
