June 16, 2025 – Authorities are investigating foul play in the recent death of former child actor Sophie Nyweide.
Former child actor Sophie Nyweide passed away on April 14th, 2025. She was only 24 years old.
“Sophie was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, friend and new aunt,” her family wrote in an obituary. They share a glimpse into Sophie’s world, celebrating her life despite how short it was.
“Creative, athletic and wise beyond her years, Sophie accomplished so much in the time she danced upon earth (literally – she danced as she moved!),” they added. “She dreamed (more like demanded!) to be an actor, without ever knowing her mother was an actor, so she did that too with an ease we all marveled about. She seemed happiest on a movie set, becoming someone else. It was a safe place for her and she relished the attention from casts and crews who nourished her talent and her well being.”
Sophie is best known for her roles in “Mammoth” and “An Invisible Sign”. In 2009’s “Mammoth”, she played the daughter of Gael García Bernal and Michelle Williams‘ characters. In “An Invisible Sign”, she played Lisa Venus, the daughter of a mother dying of cancer.
Police Investigate Sophie Nyweide’s Death As Possible Foul Play
Sophie’s family did not reveal the cause of her death. Though they did share parts of Sophie’s troubles in life: “Sophie was a kind and trusting girl. Often this left her open to being taken advantage of by others. She wrote and drew voraciously and much of this art depicts the depth she had and it also represents the pain she suffered. Many of her writings and artwork are roadmaps of her struggles and traumas.”
“Even with those roadmaps, diagnoses, and her own revelations, those closest to her, plus therapists, law enforcement officers and others who tried to help her are heartbroken their efforts couldn’t save her from her fate. She self medicated to deal with all the trauma and shame she held inside, and it possibly lead to her death. She repeatedly said she would “handle it” on her own and was compelled to reject the treatment that might possibly have saved her life.”
TMZ spoke with Sophie’s mother, Shelly. She shared that there is some uncertainty surrounding her daughter’s death. “My knowledge is she was using drugs and was a tiny young woman. She was with other people when she died. I didn’t know them. There is an investigation ongoing. The autopsy results are not in. They said it would take 6-8 weeks. So I can’t say definitively.”
Despite the ongoing investigation, Shelly was adamant when she told TMZ, “Please let her rest in peace now.”
Here are the final words in Sophie’s obituary. May she rest in peace.
“Sophie. A life ended too soon. May it not be in vain. May we all learn from her brief life on earth and do better. Yes, we must all protect our children and do better.”
