Have we ever paused to ask ourselves, in between our ad clicks on the latest celebrity almost-scandal, what toll this high-price lifestyle exacts?
Sophie, known for her early roles that flicked glints of stardom into her life’s tapestry, was not just a former child star—oh, how we love using that term—but a person with dreams, desires, and a conflicted relationship with reality, especially when reality seemed to have taken a script twist no one saw coming.

Fans and netizens, on the other hand, believe her obituary paints a clear picture of what befell Nyweide, both in the cause of her passing and the specific type of traumatic event that damaged her psyche.
“She wrote and drew voraciously,” the document read. “Many of her writings and artwork are roadmaps of her struggles and traumas.”

Nyweide stepped out of the spotlight shortly after the release of Darren Aronofsky’s 2014 biblical drama film Noah. She was around 13 years old at the time, and, as a result, most publicly available pictures depict her as a teenager or a child.
Between 2015 and 2017, Nywaeide was enrolled at Elevations RTC, a residential treatment center in Syracuse, Utah, focused on treating teenagers between 13 and 18 years old who are dealing with severe trauma and substance abuse.

The treatment ultimately proved ineffective. While details surrounding the methods and medications used to try and cure Nyweide are being kept private, her obituary once again sheds light on the process.
“She repeatedly said she would ‘handle it’ on her own and was compelled to reject the treatment that might possibly have saved her life,” the document explains.

As Bored Pandapreviously reported, the message went on to portray a life shaped by trauma and struggle, revealing that Nyweide had rejected treatment in spite of repeated efforts from therapists, law enforcement, and loved ones.
While the cause of her passing hasn’t been confirmed, the obituary explains she “self-medicated to deal with all the trauma she held inside” and that those actions “resulted in her d***h.”
Netizens have also noticed that Nyweide’s family started requesting donations to the Ra*e, Abu*e & Ince*t National Network (RAINN), a nonprofit specifically dedicated to helping survivors of se*ual violence.
