Former child star Sophie Nyweide was pregnant when she died

Former child star Sophie Nyweide was pregnant when she suddenly died on April 14 at the age of 24. Her death certificate confirmed she was pregnant but did not specify the stage she was in, and no further details were disclosed. Authorities found Nyweide unresponsive near the Roaring Branch River in Bennington, Vermont, where someone with her called 911 at 4:10 a.m. Medics arrived and attempted life-saving measures, but she was pronounced dead just over forty minutes later at 4:53 a.m. On April 23, authorities stated that her death is being investigated as a possible accidental overdose, with the case still pending. "Sophie was a kind and trusting girl. This often led her to be taken advantage of by others... She self-medicated with drugs to cope with all the trauma and shame she carried within, which led to her death. She repeatedly said she would 'take matters into her own hands' and was forced to refuse the treatment that could have possibly saved her." - Obituary for Sophie Nyweide The family requested donations to RAINN in Sophie's name instead of flowers, the nation's leading organization against sexual violence.
