Landon Clifford found fame chronicling his life as a teen father on YouTube, starting the channel Cam&Fam with his wife, Camryn Turner, where they gained 1.6 million subscribers. Clifford and Turner married as teens in 2019 and had two children together, per USA Today. The couple's final video, entitled "Teen Dad Tries Labor Pain Simulation," showed Clifford seemingly in good spirits as he was hooked to a device that simulated the pain of giving birth.
In 2020, Clifford suffered a traumatic brain injury and was declared brain dead after falling into a coma, as Turner announced on Instagram. He died six days later, aged just 19. His widow revealed that his organs were donated. "He died saving the lives of others," she wrote in a moving tribute. "That's the type of person he was. ... He was an amazing husband and the best father those girls could of ever asked for. It saddens me deeply that they will never get to truly know him."
In a YouTube video, Turner divulged that Clifford died by suicide. She discussed her late husband's ongoing struggles with depression, anxiety, and addiction, explaining that he was a reserved person who didn't share his personal turmoil with others. After their second child was born, he began to feel better, but the depression slowly came back. "I would give anything to be able to hug Landon right now. Life is just so, so precious," she tearfully said at the end of the video.
