“I'm only saying this because people still comment on my TikToks saying how happy I am with him and 'just wait for the toddler phase' and all that, and I really can't take it anymore. I'm so sorry.'
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Veruca for further comment.
Queensland Police are investigating the baby's death and told Daily Mail Australia in a statement: “Police were called to Enid Avenue at Southport Unit at 6.13am yesterday, Monday February 5.”
Veruca gave birth to her son, Cash Harrison Stirling, on December 19 and confirmed the news with her followers in an Instagram post at the time.
The TikTok star first announced her pregnancy with her first child in June by sharing a photo of herself holding a cake with blue in the middle.
In August, she also announced that she planned to continue creating X-rated content on OnlyFans during her pregnancy.
She replied to a fan on Instagram Stories who asked her if she would continue to star in videos on the adult platform OnlyFans while pregnant.
“Yes, just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm ugly,” she replied.

Veruca said she had recently moved into a share house on the Gold Coast after returning from London.
“The only reason I moved to a shared house is (because) when I came back from London I needed a house immediately and you all know how bad this rental market is,” she said.
'Just like in February, I applied for thirty homes and received none.'
