Beloved TikToker found dead at his home as cops say he took his own life
The 32-year-old, who was known for posting humorous content, was found unresponsive near the window of his residence on in La Paz, a city in the Pacific coast state of Baja California.
Miranda, who had more than 10 million followers on TikTok, shared a message written in caps that read: 'Thanks you all for everything,' on his Instagram Stories feed before he took his own life.
Authorities entered the internet star's second floor apartment at around 2:21 pm local time and found a cable tied around his neck and hanging out one of the windows, local media outlets reported.
Baja California authorities are investigating the incident, but have not provided a motive for his death.
The TikToker's management agency, Albe Group, which is owned by fellow influencer Mario Aguilar, lamented his untimely death in a heartbreaking statement on Wednesday.
Aguilar wrote: 'Today I find it hard to write this… Aldo Miranda was one of those people that life gave me thanks to social media, but over time, it became a true friendship, one that feels genuine, close, and valuable.
'Meeting him was incredible. He had a talent that captivated, moved, and inspired. He was also one of the first people to believe in me when I told him about Albe Group.
'Without thinking twice, he showed me his unconditional support, and that's how we began working together. But beyond work, a friendship was born that I will always cherish.'
Aguilar mentioned that Miranda was dealing with personal issues that may have driven him to have taken his own life.
Aguilar said: 'Today, he leaves us with news that breaks our hearts. Sometimes internal battles are silent, and we don't get to see everything someone carries inside.
'Aldo decided to leave before his time, and although it hurts deeply, I want to remember him with the love, light, and joy he left in us. We will miss you as much as you can't imagine.'
Miranda's last social media post was on July 3 when he posted a short video on Instagram - where he had more than 486,000 followers - and invited his fans to join him on Temu as sellers.
Prior to becoming a social media darling, Miranda worked as a teacher for the Baja California Ministry of Public Education.
News of Miranda's death sent shockwaves through his community of supporters.
Influencer Carol Funes wrote: 'Today my heart was crushed. Rest in peace, Aldo.'
One of his followers, Itzel Uriarte, wrote: 'Today, the soul of a creator was silently turned off. Not all cries are for help; sometimes they're just for peace.
'Depression isn't visible, but it weighs heavily. If you're reading this, stay. There's light after the storm. Rest in peace, Aldo.'

Fans freak out over Scott Cam's extraordinary likeness to his granddaughter
The Block's Scott Cam is relishing his new role as a grandfather. Taking to his social media on Tuesday, the 62-year-old TV host posted a picture of himself holding his son Charlie's three-month-old baby Tiggy in his arms. Fans were quick to note the wild resemblance between Scott and his granddaughter, who shares the same chin and bright blue eyes as her famous pop. 'Love Sunday BBQs with the fam,' The Block star said in the caption of his Instagram post, as followers filled the comments section with compliments. 'Chip off the old block (see what I did there Scotty lol),' joked one user, while another follower said simply, 'Mini Scotty'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'She looks so like you (but in a pretty way),' another follower said of the tiny tot, who sports an impressive head of red hair. 'Yes, she is a spitting image!' gushed another follower. The veteran presenter shared a gallery of photos to social media in May to share his joy at becoming a grandfather. In the Instagram post, Scott confirmed his son Charlie and his partner Amber had welcomed their first child. One precious photo captured Scott happily posing alongside Charlie, 28, while he tenderly cradled his newborn grandchild. Another showed a beaming Scott looking every inch the doting grandad as he held the bundle of joy while visiting the maternity ward and a third captured him lovingly kissing the newborn's forehead. The Sydney-born presenter revealed in the caption the birth happened in April and he is now going public: 'As of five weeks ago, I became a grandfather to beautiful Tiggy. 'I'm so proud of Charlie and Amber. She is absolutely gorgeous.' Many of Scott's celebrity friends took to the comment section to offer their words of support. 'The best grandad,' gushed The Block veterans Liberty and Eliza. 'Well done Scotty, what a gift, you'll be the BEST Grandpa of them all,' added Catriona Rowntree and Barry Du Bois chipped in with: 'So happy for you and the family mate. Number One Grandpa.' Scott and his wife of thirty years, Ann, share twins Bill and Sarah, 25, and Charlie.) It comes as fans are eagerly waiting for the new season of The Block to drop. Leaked photos of one of the completed homes in the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Daylesford reveal the upcoming 2025 installment has a very similar aesthetic to a previous season of the show. While Nine is remaining tight-lipped on the official name, whispers around the network suggest the new series could easily be branded as a sequel to the 2022 'Tree Change' season, which was set in Gisborne in the Macedon Ranges - just a short drive from this year's location. Daylesford was set to be the site of The Block's 2024 season, however production was eventually moved to Phillip Island following a planning dispute. The network was reportedly forced to cancel $500,000 worth of accommodation it had booked for the show's cast and crew. 'We've had so many successful series in so many different locations, but we don't go where we are not welcome,' a production insider told the Herald Sun at the time. In December, the application was finally approved by the Victorian Planning Minister to build five dwellings on a 2,000sqm block of land owned by Hygge Property. Daylesford is located 114km from Melbourne and its unique combination of natural beauty, historic charm and vibrant local culture provides a stunning backdrop ideal for the show.

Pregnant Hollywood star left shocked after Aussie reporter calls her the C-word in wild interview
Vanessa Kirby has been given a very blunt introduction to some unique Australian vernacular. The UK actress, 37, was Down Under promoting her latest film Fantastic Four: First Steps, and sat down with Pedestrian alongside co-star Pedro Pascal to chat about the superhero flick. Interviewer Rebekah Manibog surprised The Crown star, 37, with a unique choice of words as she described Vanessa's social media status. 'You've kind of become a social media icon for your force field, snatched, c***y, fierceness face,' Rebekah stated. Clearly taken aback by the surprising label, Vanessa's eyes bulged in surprise as she exclaimed: 'Oh God!, 'I don't know if that is a good thing. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The reporter attempted to assure Vanessa that it was, indeed, a positive label, but the actress appeared unconvinced until Pedro stepped in to confirm the vulgar term is not always used in the pejorative. 'F*** yeah, he said, agreeing with the reporter's assessment before adding: 'C***y face is good, babe.' Still not completely sold, Vanessa asked the Last Of Us star: 'What's that? From sunglasses, maybe?' He then gave Vanessa a definition of the term, which seemed to reassure the actress. 'C***y face just means fierce, fabulous, beautiful, strong. It's good, promise' Pedro assured his co star. A clip of the exchange was uploaded to TikTok, eliciting a swathe of comments from fans. Many were quick to point out that while the term does have a negative connotation, it is also used to describe something positive, particularly in the LGBTQIA+ community. 'Our favourite Internet daddy teaching everybody the lingo,' one fan commented. 'The validation coming from Pedro? Wow woo wooo,' another swooned, while a third chimed in with: 'Pedro Pascal being every female co-star's biggest cheerleader will never get old. Ever.' Others were quick to point out many Australians' affection for using the term as a term of endearment. 'Amazing,' one enthused. 'Such a well used word in Australia. Say it to a posh English person. Good old Pedro, jumping to the rescue.' 'Not the people outside of Australia aghast at the swears,' another joked. Yet another added: 'I can picture this interviewer's whole career flashing before her eyes when there was an inkling she might have offended THE Vanessa Kirby.' The awkward exchange comes after Vanessa recently revealed she was expecting her first child with partner Paul Rabil, 39. The Mission: Impossible star revealed that she is expecting her first child as she showed off her baby bump at The Fantastic Four photocall in Mexico on Saturday. She looked great in a stylish blue gown at the Comic Con Experience Mexico and tenderly touched her stomach as she posed on the red carpet. Vanessa and Paul first sparked dating rumours when they were spotted walking hand-in-hand through New York City in October 2022. However, Vanessa and Paul didn't make their romance Instagram official until November 2023. At the time, American Paul - who is the co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League - shared a series of photographs of the couple including one of them embracing on a beach. 'From the very minute we first met in Des Moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you,' he wrote about the film star.
