COMEDIAN Huey Haha said his daughter was the only motivation that was keeping him going amid an alleged mental health battle before his sudden death.

Following the maternity shoot, Huey shared the joyful news with his Instagram followers, saying that his growing family was “the one thing that’s gonna keep [him] going.”
The news was a pleasant turnaround for the young star who suffered a tough upbringing.
During an interview with ShotBy Manzo YouTube channel, Huey spoke about growing up in Stockton, California.
He revealed that at times, there was “no food, no nothing” for him, his four sisters, and one brother.
In another video, released earlier this year, Huey stated he would go to school often as his way of avoiding the harsh dynamics of his home life.
He also revealed that at the age of 13, he went to foster care, but was removed from a pair of families after he was caught smoking marijuana.

‘WHAT HAPPENED’
Now, many are wondering if a lengthy struggle with mental health issues and past trauma are what led to his sudden death.
On Monday, a family member of Huey confirmed that the social media star had sadly passed away.
“Rest In Peace to Huey Ha. Huey Ha passed away October 25, 2021,” a post on his feed read.

According to a report, the young comedian died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
“It has been confirmed from a few different sources close to his family that Huey took his own life by a self inflicted gun shot wound,” reads the post.
However, the cause of the death has yet to be officially confirmed.
THE SIGNS
Prior to his death, Huey appeared to be showing several signs that his mental state wasn’t in the best condition.
In his final tweet, Huey tweeted “f**k life” before deactivating his account.
“That goes to show you you NEVER know what’s going on in someone’s mind,” tweeted one after his passing.
In recent weeks, he also uploaded a video of himself “wielding a gun during a mock robbery – and handling huge bags of what appears to be marijuana,” The Sun reported.
The comedian also admitted to longing to be better for his young daughter under a post, where his pictured posing for a photoshoot alongside Keilani.
