Overwatch fans have paid tribute to YouTuber Mikayla Raines following her death earlier this week.

The 29-year-old was best known running wildlife rescue sanctuary Save A Fox. On Monday (June 23) Raines’ husband Ethan confirmed that she had taken her own life and blamed an “online bullying campaign” for her death.

Raines launched the Save A Fox non-profit in 2017 and documented her efforts on social media, with her YouTube channel followed by more than 2.4million subscribers.

“From a young age, she dedicated every waking hour of her life to helping animals, whether it was helping a snapping turtle cross the road or saving 500 foxes from a terrible fur farm,” said Ethan in an emotional video. “She was never in it for fame, money or personal gain. She was truly one of the most selfless people I have ever known.”
