The entertainment world is reeling from the tragic loss of Sophie Nyweide, a former child actress known for roles in Mammoth and Noah, who passed away at 24 on April 14. According to her death certificate, obtained by multiple outlets on April 23, Nyweide was pregnant at the time of her death, adding a heart-wrenching layer to an already devastating story.
Found unresponsive in a wooded area along the Roaring Branch River in Bennington, Vermont, her sudden passing has sparked grief and questions, with police investigating a possible unintentional overdose while not ruling out foul play.

Nyweide, born in Burlington, Vermont, began acting at age six, starring in Bella (2006) and later appearing in Margot at the Wedding(2007), An Invisible Sign (2010) with Jessica Alba, and Noah (2014) with Russell Crowe.
“She seemed happiest on a movie set, becoming someone else,” her family wrote in an obituary, noting her passion for acting, inherited unknowingly from her mother, former actress Shelly Gibson. A source told People that Nyweide appeared to be in the early stages of pregnancy, though details remain unclear.

Her family’s obituary painted a picture of a “kind and trusting girl” whose openness left her vulnerable. “She wrote and drew voraciously, and much of this art depicts the depth she had and the pain she suffered,” they shared, revealing Nyweide’s struggles with trauma and shame. They added that she “self-medicated” and often rejected treatment, saying she’d “handle it” alone, a choice that “resulted in her death.” Her mother told TMZ, “We are very distraught and mourning. All I can say is her time acting was brief but very happy. She was always safe on those sets.”
Bennington Police responded to a 911 call at 4:10 a.m. on April 14, finding Nyweide near a makeshift lean-to with an unnamed man who is cooperating but not a suspect. “This is a fluid investigation,” Chief Paul Doucette told USA TODAY, awaiting autopsy and toxicology results expected in six to eight weeks. Nyweide’s mother acknowledged her daughter’s drug use, describing her as a “tiny young woman” who was with others at the time of death.
In lieu of flowers, the family requested donations to RAINN, the anti-sexual violence organization, hinting at Nyweide’s personal battles. Her obituary called her “creative, athletic, and wise beyond her years,” urging others to “learn from her brief life and do better.” Fans on X have shared tributes, mourning the loss of a talent whose art and struggles left a lasting mark.

Getty Images The Seattle Seahawks took Jalen Milroe in the third round of the NFL Draft, a decision Milroe thinks they won't regret.

He had 16 passing touchdowns and 20 rushing touchdowns, the latter was the third most for a quarterback in SEC history. Milroe led the SEC with 71 total touchdowns over the past two seasons (39 pass, 32 […]
