Emman Atienza Died by Suicide, Medical Examiner Says

Emman (Emmanuelle) Atienza, a 19-year-old TikTok influencer and daughter of Filipino TV personality Kim Atienza and wellness entrepreneur Felicia Atienza, was found dead at her Los Angeles home on Oct. 22, 2025; Los Angeles County medical-examiner records list the death as a suicide by ligature hanging. Her parents and siblings announced her “unexpected passing” in an Instagram statement, praised her authenticity and asked for privacy while urging compassion. Emman relocated from the Philippines to Los Angeles earlier this year and had built a large social-media following with candid videos on fashion, body positivity and mental-health advocacy. She had spoken publicly about anxiety and more severe struggles, including treatment-resistant illness, past self-harm and receiving death threats; in the weeks before her death she deactivated and briefly returned to TikTok and Instagram, posting a montage of Los Angeles activities days before she died. Tributes from fans, fellow creators and Filipino celebrities have accompanied renewed calls for compassion and attention to mental-health resources.
