Youtube sensation, Steve Cash, who gained fame for his popular “Talking Kitty Cat” videos on YouTube, has passed away in a tragic suicide.
According to TMZ, Cash took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot on Thursday morning, April 17th. His untimely demise was confirmed in a Facebook post shared by his wife, Celia DeCosta Cash. He was 40 years old.
“This is so hard. I’m not even sure what to say, or for that matter, what to do,” the post read. “I just lost my best friend, my sidekick, my lover, my mentor, my absolute everything, this morning. I’m so sad to say, my husband, Steve Cash took his own life this morning 4/16/2020. It hurts me to share this. Please understand, give the family time to grieve, but know that Steve is no longer in pain.”
TMZ reports that Cash had been open about his mental health struggles, even discussing them with his fans.
Back in September, a fan commented on one of his videos acknowledging his increased presence on social media, to which the YouTube personality replied, “Nah, just bipolar. I’m on a manic up right now. When I go back into depression, I’ll vacate everything.”
Steve, who launched his YouTube channel in 2007 with his sketch comedy series under the name “Talking Kitty Cat,” amassed over two million subscribers.
