Bobby Moudy dead – TikTok star and dad-of-three dies by suicide amid financial struggles leaving family ‘in crisis’ | The Sun
A TIKTOK star who shared family videos on the platform has died by suicide after ongoing financial struggles.
The family of James Robert Moudy, known as Bobby, revealed that the social media star had died in late April at the age of 46 after "heavy" financial burdens.
A statement from the family said: "Bobby was a loving father, husband, brother and friend. On April 28th, he was a tragic victim of suicide. Bobby was full of life and laughs…
"But also weighed down by financial pressures. His wife, Jennifer and their three children are in an emotional and financial crisis as he was their rock."
Bobby had over 360,000 followers on TikTok, where he often shared glimpses into his family life, and joked he was on the platform "just to embarrass my daughter".
He would play pranks with his children, do challenges and share sweet family moments out of their home in Mississippi.

You’re Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You're Not Alone.
