Here's everything we know about Lil Tay and her brother Jason Tian's reported deaths.

Lil Tay, whose name Tay Titan - despite the false statement alleging it was Claire Hope - was announced to have passed away via a statement on her official Instagram account on 9 August by an unknown person.
It was also revealed that her older brother, Jason Tian, 21, had also died.
