Hey guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with Clevver
News, and while fans of the popular YouTube
family Cam & Fam continue to mourn the sudden
passing of Landon Clifford, his wife, Camryn
is speaking out on his behalf and reveals
his tragic cause of death.
It was just last week when the devastating
news of YouTube family Cam & Fam suffered
a tragic loss.
Camryn Clifford, a mother of two, revealed
that her 19-year-old husband Landon had passed
away.
On Tuesday, Camryn took to Instagram to share
an update on her family, saying QUOTE, “August
13th 2020 was Landon’s last day being the
best dad and husband he could be.
After spending the following 6 days in a coma
he passed on and donated several organs to
people in need all over the country.
He died saving the lives of others.”
Although his cause of death wasn’t immediately
disclosed in the post, fans continued to mourn
such a giving and compassionate father and
husband after hearing the shocking news.
But in a 36-minute update on YouTube titled
“My Husband Passed Away / Telling His Story”
posted on Thursday, Camryn spoke out on behalf
of Landon, and revealed his cause of death.
Before we get into all the details, I wanted
to issue a trigger warning that we will be
talking about addiction, depression and suicide,
so please only continue if you feel comfortable
doing so.
At the start of the video, Camryn appeared
rather somber while fighting back tears as
she began by also issuing a trigger warning
to her fans, stating that this might be better
watching alongside a parent considering the
heavy nature of the content.
She revealed to fans that Landon has always
been a pretty quiet and secretive person,
especially when it comes to “sharing deep
emotional things.”
While Camryn revealed she always did her best
to respect Landon’s privacy, she also admitted
QUOTE, “He has had mental health issues
for as long as I have known him.
He suffered from anxiety and depression.
He has ADHD which he has had since he was
a little boy, so his whole life he’s always
just kind of struggled with his emotions and
just the way his brain was wired.”
Landon ultimately went to a psychiatrist to
get help with his panic attacks, depression
and trouble focusing and was given three different
medications.
It was then that Camryn revealed that due
to the addictive and lethal mixture of the
uppers and downers, Landon QUOTE “fell into
a hole,” adding, “He needed the uppers
to get up in the morning and downers to slow
down at night.
And the more downers he took at night the
more uppers he needed to get up…
So it was a very, very vicious cycle and he
just kept taking more and more and needed
more for his body to feel his effects.”
The turning point came after Camryn told Landon
that she was pregnant with their second child,
who was born in May.
After Delilah arrived, Camryn recalled the
reality of caring for two kids that hit the
couple hard, to which they even took a break
from each other with Landon staying with his
parents in hopes of getting over his prescription
drug habit.
Earlier this month on August 13th, Camryn
sensed that something wasn’t right with
Landon…
He said that he was sorry for everything he
put me through.
It was really hard on me when I was pregnant
and he was heavy in his addiction and he really
just wasn’t himself at that time.
He was just apologizing to me for everything.
I could tell he was putting a lot of blame
on himself.”)
Camryn told Landon that she forgave him and
that she loved him, but it was then that Landon
told Camryn he was going to take a bath.
A half-hour later, Camryn heard the couple’s
oldest daughter Collette wake up, and went
to check on her and Landon, but wasn’t able
to find Landon in his room, the girls’ room,
or the bathroom.
She then went into the garage, where she soon
found that Landon had tragically hung himself.
And he didn’t look alive.
He was very pale, and I was in so much shock.
And it took me a second to realize that it
was actually happening.
Camryn ran to the kitchen to grab a knife
to get him down, and soon realized he didn’t
have a pulse, to which she called 911.
First responders were able to revive him,
but Landon was without oxygen for too long,
which caused him to be in a coma for about
a week before he was pronounced dead.
Camryn revealed to fans that because Landon
was a registered organ donor, many of his
organs were able to be donated to people in
need.
She said, “He always put others above himself.
Even in death, he was caring about other people.”
It was initially reported that Landon had
suffered a “brain injury,” however, many
fans were curious as to what happened to cause
the injury and the weeklong coma that resulted.
Camryn shared her reasoning for opening up
about Landon’s death on his behalf, saying
that she hopes this can help others who are
struggling with depression, addiction and
mental health.
She said, “If he knew everything that would
follow after he did what he did, he wouldn’t
have.
That’s why I am here to tell his story because
there are so many people out there who need
to hear about what comes after.”
Landon and Camryn were married on June 22,
2019 and share two daughters together: Collette
Briar Clifford and Delilah Rose Clifford.
The family documented their life on YouTube
navigating their lives as a family of four,
stealing the hearts of many with a total of
1.3 million subscribers.
Camryn revealed that, during Landon’s stay
in the hospital, he was pronounced brain dead
at 2:22 and was staying in room 22, which
also happens to be the date of their wedding
anniversary.
Fans who tuned into Camryn’s recent update
continue to mourn Landon’s death on social
media and have shared kind words for the Clifford
family throughout the week.
Although Landon may not be with us any longer,
the Clifford family will always have their
guardian angel watching over them.
Right now, please feel free to share some
love and kind words to Landon’s family and
loved ones down in the comments.
And as always, we, here at Clevver, are continuing
to send our love and deepest condolences to
the Clifford family during this difficult
time.
I’m your host Emile Ennis Jr., bye guys.
