Sophie Nyweide, the former child actress recognized for her roles in films such as 'Mammoth' and 'Noah', tragically passed away at the age of 24 on April 14, 2025. Her family confirmed her death through an obituary published on Legacy.com, emphasizing her creative spirit and the heartache felt by loved ones in the wake of her loss, describing her as "wise beyond her years" and a person who "saw people other than relatives as family," according to Los Angeles Times and Newsweek.

The Bennington Police Department is investigating Nyweide's death as a possible unintentional overdose, with reports indicating that she was found in a wooded area near the Roaring Branch River. The surrounding circumstances included a 911 call regarding an unresponsive female, but authorities have not ruled out foul play, as they await final autopsy and toxicology results, according to HuffPost and Los Angeles Times.

An obituary detailing Nyweide's struggles revealed that she self-medicated to cope with trauma and shame, which led to her death.

Nyweide was reportedly in the early stages of pregnancy at the time of her passing, a detail that has emerged during the ongoing investigation. Her family has requested donations be made in her name to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), emphasizing the need for awareness and support for survivors of sexual violence, according to Los Angeles Times and HuffPost.
