Stephanie Buttermore’s Death Raises Questions About Her Final Instagram Break

Fitness influencer Stephanie Buttermore died at 36 with the cause of death undisclosed. Her fiancé Jeff Nippard announced her sudden passing and highlighted her warmth, family love, and her PhD research on ovarian cancer. Buttermore had paused social media about two years earlier to improve her mental health, and in her May 2024 final Instagram post she described battling crippling anxiety, but said stepping away from Instagram improved her mental health and helped her be more present with family, choosing memories over posting.
