    TikTok star Joshua Blackledge dies suddenly aged 16

    Joshua Blackledge, a 16-year-old TikToker, has suddenly died, with his family and friends paying tribute.

    An obituary has revealed that the influencer died on March 18, at his home in Newport, North Carolina, but his cause of death has not been shared.

    He had over one million followers on social media, and many of his videos showed him spending time with friends and his girlfriend.

    The star was a junior at West Carteret High School, and his obituary revealed that he was ‘ involved in wrestling and track’ at school.

    The tribute continued: ‘He had a passion for the outdoors and loved being around water, whether fishing or boating with friends. He also had a love for cars and trucks.

    ‘At home, Joshua liked helping his mom with cooking, gardening, and yard work. He had an energetic spirit and was known for his entertaining nature, often impressing others with backflips.

    ‘Joshua will be remembered by those who knew him for his enthusiasm and love for life. May his memory bring comfort to all who mourn his passing.’

    The star was often seen with his girlfriend Emmie Gillikin.

    ‘Missing this sweet boy right now. never would’ve thought i would have been here without you,’ Gillikin shared on social media on March 20.

    ‘Josh showed me what love really was even [though] im very young. he never failed to put a smile on my face no matter how mad i was at him … Even after these past couple days nothing seems real and im feeling all the emotions.’
