Jenna Anne Johnson died in hospice care in South Dakota on 29 May, aged 23, after a rare form of cervical cancer spread aggressively through her body and left doctors 'absolutely baffled', her family have confirmed.

Johnson first began sharing her story online in 2024, shortly after a routine appointment and Pap smear led to an abnormal result. A biopsy then showed adenoid carcinoma, a rare cancer affecting glandular tissue, and Johnson told followers that the disease was found in her cervix, uterus and lymph nodes.
