On Thursday, Maddy’s fiancé released a statement to People.
“Madison passed away peacefully last night,” Louis Risher, 27, said.
He assured that his late fiancée was “surrounded with love.”
“She is so special,” Louis added.
“I turned 27 yesterday, actually.”
“I was holding her hand all day and that’s all I needed,” he closed.
Maddy is survived by Louis, her mom, Carissa Talmege, 47, and her stepfather, Lucky Talmege, 45.
The late influencer reached more than 440,000 followers on her TikTok account.
HER BUCKET LIST
In late February, she announced her guest appearance on Taylor’s The Squeeze Podcast.
“Being on guest on a podcast” was on her bucket list.
At the end of the video, Maddy smiled at the camera as she posed with the Abduction actor and his wife, Taylor Dome.
Another item on her bucket list was having dinner with Hell’s Kitchen host Gordon Ramsay.
Around that time, the pair had dinner at the opening of his new restaurant, Lucky Cat, in Miami, Florida.
Maddy shared snapshots of her dishes, which included Avocado Tempura, Ceviche, and shredded duck.
She also uploaded a short video of the two dancing to Christina Perri’s song, A Thousand Years.
“Thank you for teaching me to dance,” Gordon replied in the comments section.

“It’s the first time for me ever in the kitchen.”
HER LAST VIDEO
In early March, Maddy revealed in a clip that due to her colostomy surgery, she hadn’t taken a bath in over a year.
She said the cancer had spread “to the entire lower half” of her body.
Maddy’s final video featured her going on a trip to Kyoto, Japan.
“I’m in Japan for a very limited amount of time. I’m here on Earth for a limited amount of time,” Maddy shared.
“And I don’t want to be afraid to take a bath. So come take a bath with me.”
The brief clip ended with Maddy smiling as she relaxed in a steaming bubble bath.
