“Many of you are new here and may have assumed that John was simply a healthy man with autism, but that wasn’t the case,” Des shared. “For years, he faced a number of serious health challenges. While his health had improved significantly over the last two years, he had a long history of medical issues.”
She continued: “Among those concerns were severe dental infections that had gone untreated for decades, which can place significant strain on the heart. He also experienced blood in his urine and had ongoing kidney problems.”

Although Des shared a lengthy statement about what John was dealing with, she says that the TikTok star died of natural causes.
“It was an unexpected death, but he did have sicknesses,” Des shared in the video. “And when I say natural causes, you’re just going to have to Google what natural causes mean.”
She continued: “I can’t sit here and explain it to you. Natural causes means that he died from a sickness. Nothing was done to his body, and he didn’t do anything to his body. He died of natural causes. If you don’t know what that means, please Google it. You’ll see. So, I just wanted to let y'all know that John did pass.”
