Katelynn Ordone is setting the record straight about her son Preston Ordone’s death.
Three weeks after the 2-year-old TikTok star—also known as Okay Baby—died following a single-vehicle car accident April 24, his mother spoke out to clear up any speculation surrounding the accident.
“For those of you who don’t know,“ Katelynn began in a May 14 statement shared to Instagram, “my husband and I suffered severe concussions and have no memory of the accident. There has been a lot of misinformation out there.”
Since the incident, the toddler’s cause of death has been confirmed to be blunt force injuries due to a motor vehicle crash, per the St. Tammany Parish coroner’s office, with the manner listed as accidental. And along with suffering concussions, Katelynn sustained multiple broken bones while her husband Jaelan Ordone underwent emergency surgery on one of his legs.
In her statement, Katelynn, 25, went on to explain that she and Jaelan, 27, hired an “independent accident reconstruction expert” to further investigate the cause of the incident—during which their truck veered off the road and struck a tree at approximately 60 mph.
