BREAKING NEWS Tanner Martin is dead at 30: Influencer announces his own death in video weeks after birth of his first child
The popular influencer Tanner Martin has died at the age of 30.
In a surprising move, it was Tanner himself who delivered the news in a heartbreaking pre-recorded video posted Wednesday to Instagram by his wife Shay Wright.
Tanner bid his fans a final farewell just 41 days after he and his wife welcomed their first child, a daughter.
The couple had documented his difficult journey on social media after he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer five years earlier.
Tanner was as smiley and disarming as ever as he addressed the camera directly from what appeared to be his hospice room.
'Hey, it's me, Tanner. If you are watching this, I am dead,' he began, before easing some of the tension with a laugh at his own gallows humor.
