Playboy Model Katie May Dead at 34 After Suffering ”Catastrophic” Stroke
Katie May – the model who was so popular on social media that she was dubbed the “Queen of Snapchat – has passed away at the age of 34”.
Playboy model Katie May has been hospitalized after a “catastrophic” stroke. Obstruction of the carotid arteries places a person at high risk for a stroke, the third-leading cause of death in the US.
The GoFundMe page set up to support May’s daughter Mia said earlier this week, “Katie’s family plans on using any money raised to help pay for education, Mia’s daily life and to help her dad with the costs of parenting”.
In addition to her social media fame, May, a model, had posed for publications such as Playboy and Sports Illustrated.

“Anyone who was lucky enough to know Katie May was truly blessed by her incredible heart, mind and soul”. “She was an inspiration and a guiding light to so many people in this world”. She fell in love with a man named Alex Maimon, and had her daughter Mia.
In an interview Katie revealed that she grew up in a small town outside Pittsburgh and was the youngest of four children.
Her latest post was on Monday, February 1, 2016, when she took to Instagram to share the status which read, ‘Hope everyone is having a great Monday! I’m not going to go down on denim. “Even though I am much older than most of the girls in the industry and really had no experience. The rest is history”.
