The cause of death for deaf actress Kaylee Hottle has been confirmed.

Joshua Hottle, father of Kaylee Hottle who starred in the film 'Godzilla vs. Kong', announced that his daughter was involved in a traffic accident on the 21st and passed away while being transported to the hospital. She was 18 years old.

Joshua Hottle posted a video on his Facebook using sign language to convey the news of his daughter's death, adding the message: "She ended up on a plane she never wanted to be on." He explained in the video that he was traveling from Texas to Maryland to receive his daughter's body.

A day later, PEOPLE reported, citing the Maryland medical examiner's office, that Kaylee Hottle's cause of death was confirmed as "multiple trauma due to a traffic accident," and the manner of death was ruled as an accident.

The fatal traffic accident involving Kaylee Hottle occurred while a 19-year-old male was driving; there were three people in the vehicle, including the driver. The vehicle was traveling on a two-lane road when it veered off the right lane and collided with a drainage ditch.

The sheriff's office stated in a press release: "Speeding is believed to be one of the causes of this accident."

The driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital, while other passengers refused treatment at the scene.

Joshua Hottle said he spoke with the driver responsible for the accident and stated, "I forgive him. Do not let this incident ruin the rest of your life."

Kaylee Hottle, who is deaf, received critical acclaim for her role as Jia in the 2021 blockbuster film 'Godzilla vs. Kong'. She reprised the same role in the 2024 sequel 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire'.
