Tanner Martin, a social media influencer and new dad who chronicled his life with colon cancer for nearly a half million followers on Instagram, has died at age 30.
He made the announcement himself in a prerecorded video posted Wednesday. (Watch it below.)
“Hey, it’s me, Tanner. If you’re watching this, I am dead,” he said with a laugh.
Martin told his wife, Shay, to edit the video as she wished while warning her, “It’s gonna be a little lighthearted.”
“I had a heck of a life,” he continued. “I decided to make this video announcing my death because I saw someone did that, like, a year or so ago, and I think it’s a good opportunity to get all your thoughts out.”
