Jacot's journey to material creation took an unpleasant turn in May 2026, when she hanged herself in the middle of the night. She confirmed the incident during a recent stream that was re-uploaded on YouTube on May 19. “It was kind of funny,” Jacquot said, adding that officers woke her up while she was fast asleep. Recounting the experience in good spirits, the 81-year-old noted that being sweaty allowed her to ride in a police car, something she had never done before.
During the May 19 stream, Jacot's grandson played a video of the sweating incident, which showed several officers entering his home while he was in bed. Jacot said the officer who woke her up was funny, adding that she doesn't blame police for doing their job because they need to treat every call seriously. The incident is the latest in a long line of sweating cases involving popular streamers. Malicious actors often try to time their false reports so that the resulting police response occurs during the live stream, although this did not happen in this instance.
Reflecting on the event, Jacquot described it as a “new experience”, joking that it ended with her son and one of her grandsons hugging her. “I don't usually get that kind of attention,” Popular Minecraft Streamer said. Jacot added that the incident still had one regrettable consequence: it upset her cat, Katie, who wanted attention after all the commotion. Until then, however, Jacot was ready to call it a night. “I took an ibuprofen and went to bed,” she recalled.
The act of sweating is considered a serious crime in the United States and can be charged as a felony under federal and many state laws. Federal prosecutors typically rely on laws covering false information, hoaxes, extortion, threats, or related computer crimes. Several provisions under Title 18 of the US Code carry potential prison sentences for incidents involving threats of violence, with higher penalties if they result in injury or death. For years, law enforcement agencies have warned that swatting is not a joke but a potentially deadly crime that diverts emergency resources and can put both victims and responding officers at risk.
