Krissy Taylor Death Cause: What happened to Niki and Krissy Taylor?

Krissy Taylor was a model from the United States. Taylor was born in Miami and raised with her parents and two older sisters in South Florida. Taylor’s foray into modelling was largely due to her older sister, supermodel Niki Taylor.

Her first photo shoot with sister Niki was published in Seventeen. She quickly signed with IMG, her sister’s modelling agency in New York.

Niki Taylor discovered Krissy unconscious on the floor of their Florida home on July 2, 1995. Taylor was rushed to Memorial Hospital West and pronounced dead at 5:39 a.m. after her family and authorities failed to revive her. She was seventeen years old.

Taylor was known to suffer from allergies that congested her upper respiratory system, and she relied on Primatene, an over-the-counter epinephrine inhaler, to alleviate shortness of breath.

Her official cause of death, according to the final autopsy report, was an acute bronchial asthma attack complicated by a sudden cardiac arrhythmia, which was later attributed to a rare heart condition.

Taylor did not, however, have a history of asthma or any symptoms of a heart condition.
