His death investigation also indicated that there was evidence of “recent clonazepam use.”

Prior to his death, Noriega had been open about his struggles with mental health and substance use.

Noriega announced that he created a Discord server for those struggling. He posted on TikTok, “If you’re really into getting your emotions out, or whatever, come join. I created [the server] because of how much I love you guys and how much I struggle with it myself.”

He stressed, “I want you guys to not be alone and [to] feel safe.”

In a separate Instagram post, he shared, “I’ve been struggling with addiction since I was 9 years old, you may think that’s crazy but that’s the life I’ve been dealt.”

“I would like to use the influence I’ve been given to create a space built on spreading awareness and normalizing talking about mental illness,” he went on.
