Family reveals cause of death of YouTuber Pretty Pastel Please

The family of Pretty Pastel Please, also known as Australian YouTuber Alex, has confirmed the 30-year-old’s sudden cause of death and paid tribute to her in a heartfelt Facebook post.

Alex, who was well-loved for her engaging content that included product reviews, travel clips, and fashion hauls, had built a successful online profile. Tragically, on July 5, a post on her Instagram account announced her unexpected passing, stating, “Her passing was sudden, unexpected and devastating to all who knew her.”

According to updates shared on Pretty Pastel Please’s Facebook page, Alex passed away on June 24. Her parents have been deeply affected and have shared several statements expressing their grief. “We are devastated – heartbroken,” they wrote. Alex’s father added, “My wife and I are shattered and miss her so much. Alex was our life, and we were devoted to her, being our only child. Rest in Peace gorgeous girl. Until we meet again.”

A candlelit vigil was held in Alex’s honor on July 24. Later, on August 9, Alexandra’s parents and loved ones shared another update on her Facebook page under the title ‘Coroner’s Report and Prayers’.

The post revealed, “It was determined by the Tasmanian Coroner that Alexandra’s sudden death was due to a very rare, debilitating, and fatal infection of her heart. A condition that affects approximately one in every 15 million people named Lymphocytic Myocarditis.”

Lymphocytic Myocarditis is a rare form of Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart. They continued, “Friends and followers would remember Alex’s final two broadcasts which were cut short due to her feeling faint and short of breath. This was, unbeknown to her, due to her heart failing.”

Initially, Alex’s autopsy report appeared normal, but the disease was only discovered during a microscopic toxicology investigation, leaving her family extremely traumatized upon receiving the news. “We grieve deeply for her soul and pray that she is in a pain-free and loving place surrounded by those she loved who passed away before her,” the post read.

They concluded with a poignant message, “Dearest Alex, we are eternally grateful for the love and light you brought into our lives and the lives of thousands around the world. Your memory will live on in our hearts forever.”

In a touching tribute, a prayer for Alexandra was requested towards the end of a Sunday Service at Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland on August 11, where several of Alex’s family members have been laid to rest.
