A chilling post was shared by Lucy-Bleu Knight’s Instagram account hours after her stepfather, Slash, announced her death on social media. The seemingly scheduled message prompted speculations around the 25-year-old’s passing amid the Guns N’ Roses guitarist’s heartbreaking update.

Lucy was the daughter of Slash’s girlfriend, Meegan Hodges, and her former partner, Mark Knight. She lost her life in Los Angeles, USA, on Friday (July 19).

  • Lucy-Bleu Knight shared a cryptic final message on Instagram hours after her death was announced.
  • She was the daughter of Meegan Hodges, Slash's girlfriend, and passed away in Los Angeles at 25.
  • Lucy’s final Instagram post led to various speculations about the circumstances of her death.

The post featured a mirror selfie of Lucy, along with a cryptic caption that read: “Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/ controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity-I am sorry.”

“MY BABY GIRL!” her mother, Meegan Hodges, commented. “I LOVE YOU WITH EVERYTHING. I’M SO SORRY.”

A person speculated: “Welp, this answers how she died.”

Someone asked: “A sad note scheduled just hours before death, doesn’t that feel suspicious?”

Grace McKagan, the daughter of rock legend Duff McKagan, penned: “You have nothing to apologize for, I’ll see you again, I love you. I’ve got you.”

“Lucy, I met you when you tatted me spur of the moment in Ridgewood Queens, in your Airbnb,” a person recalled. “You were here in NY briefly + I had been following you for a while + never thought I’d get the chance to snag some amazing ink from you.” 

The deceased social media content creator often shared her artwork, including her tattoo designs, with her 39,500 followers on Instagram.

“But sure enough you posted to your story that you were in NY + I’d reached out + gotten there within the hour + it was a session that truly saved my life,” the person continued. 

They added: “I was at an incredibly low point + you were so gentle, sweet + encouraging to me.

“I was so lost, absolutely directionless, + you asked me to, when I got home, make a mood board of the life I wished to manifest + to send it to you.”

“You had me giggling the whole sesh even when my heart felt heavy as hell. 

“You were the angel that I absolutely needed + the positivity you passed along to me on that cold ass day was anything but toxic. 

“You looked at my art + followed both my Instagram accounts + told me you believed in me, which was tbh, groundbreaking.”

“I was so happy when you reached out asking me to make a promo clip for your podcast.”

Last year, Lucy launched her Hot-n-Sketchy podcast, where she interviewed experts in the mental health field. However, she seemingly stopped running it after two episodes.

“Rest in peace honey,” Violet Grohl, the eldest daughter of Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, commented.

Lucy, who studied special effects, was undergoing treatment at a psychiatrist, she revealed in a video shared on her YouTube account in September 2022.

As per her video, the artist was running a tattoo studio, as she explained: “I’ve always enjoyed drawing and art and stuff, and I like painting, and I really like tattoos.”

She didn't lose her life, she took it by killing herself. Call it what it is.
