Summary

TikTok star Rebecca Luna, 49, died by medical aid in dying after being diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s at 48. She shared her journey publicly, highlighting the lack of support for young patients and the isolating nature of the disease. Despite her rapid decline, she chose to end her life on her own terms, expressing gratitude for her online community’s support and setting up a GoFundMe to ease her family’s burden. Her final video, posted three days before her passing, explained her decision: she no longer wanted to live in a body that felt unsafe and unbearable. She died on July 25th, surrounded by loved ones.
