Autumn Snyder Bio, Childhood

Autumn Snyder was born on November 27, 1996, in China. At the time of her death, in 2017, Snyder was 20 years old.

Snyder, who shared the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, had she lived, would be 27 years old today.

Autumn, who was born in China, found a new home when Zack Snyder and his then-wife Denise Weber adopted her.

Zack and Denise brought her back to Pasadena, California, and there, Autumn began living among other Snyder children.

From a very young age, Autumn lived a very comfortable life. Unfortunately, as she grew up, her mental health began deteriorating.

Siblings

In total, Autumn had seven siblings. Coming from an Asian background, she became an American citizen when Zack and then-wife Denise Weber adopted her.

Later, Zack and Denise also adopted Autumn’s sister Willow as well.

Autumn was a sister to four other adopted children of Zack Snyder. They are Olivia Snyder, Eli Snyder, Ezekiel Snyder, and Jett Snyder.

Along with Autumn and her sister Willow, Zack also adopted Sage Snyder and Cash Snyder.

Zack also tattooed the names of all his children on his arm.

Autumn Suffered From Depression

During her teenage years, Autumn started going into depression.

While people have generalized the term depression greatly over the years, there are different reasons that push people into that dark void.

For Autumn, she began thinking about her worth in the world, her identity, and her purpose.

In an interview, Zack revealed the kinds of conversations that he had with Autumn regarding depression.

Autumn would often ask what her worth was, what she was about, and about her existence.

“She was always wondering about her worth. ‘What is my worth? What am I supposed to do? What am I about?'”

Of course, as a loving parent, Snyder would try and comfort Autumn and say nice things. Autumn simply replied with “yeah” when Zack tried to console her.

Autumn Snyder Work

As it happens, Autumn took a somewhat similar line of interest as her father.

While Zack Snyder remains inclined towards directing, Autumn found writing as her forte from a young age.

In 2014, Autumn reportedly raised more than $12,000 through her charity ‘Write-A-Thon To End Homelessness For Mothers and Their Children.’

Her father greatly supported her philanthropic endeavour as well.

In a rare interview, Autumn Snyder said,

“Writing is very important to me. It is my way of speaking. I have been doing it for many years quietly, but now have decided to use my passion for writing to help raise money for the Elizabeth House in Pasadena, California.”

As a charity move, Autumn also began writing 2,500 words every single day, focused on a science fiction novel titled “The Prophet.”

Her charity speech went like this,

“I pledge to write 2,500 words a day for two weeks toward the goal of finishing the first half of the second novel in my fantasy fiction series entitled “Hell’s Guardians.” The total word goal for the two weeks is 35,000 words.

For every word I write, what amount are you willing to pledge? Donate per word or any amount you choose. Every donation, large or small, makes a difference. All donations are tax-deductible.”

Most of the philanthropic work that Autumn did always seemed to surpass the goal limit. When she set on to raise $2,500, she ended up raising over $12,000.

Autumn Snyder Death

On March 12, 2017, the whole Snyder family suffered a massive tragedy as Autumn Snyder committed suicide and took her own life.

For the most part, the Snyder family has remained quite tight-lipped about the death of Autumn.

However, we know for a fact depression is one of the main reasons behind Autumn’s death.

According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner report, significant quantities of two types of drugs were present.

One drug is named Acute Citalopram, and the other is called Diphenhydramine.

Acute Citalopram is a medical drug used primarily as an antidepressant. Doctors may also prescribe Acute Citalopram for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), panic disorder, and social phobia as well.

The other drug found in Autumn’s body was Diphenhydramine. A medical drug used to relieve symptoms of allergy, fever, and the common cold.

The Medical Examiner-Coroner report claimed that one of the causes was the intoxication of these two different types of drugs.

Zack Snyder After Autumn’s Death

When Zack received this horrible news about the death of his daughter, the first thing he did was be with his family.

He initially took a 2-week break from filmmaking. Snyder was in the middle of filming Justice League.

All of the Snyder family were devastated by Autumn’s tragic loss. Her mother and siblings alike.

In the back of his head, Zack thought of getting back to work after his two-week break. He thought that going back to work would help him deal with such massive emotional turmoil.

“In my mind, I thought it was a cathartic thing to go back to work, to just bury myself and see if that was the way through it.”

However, Snyder realized that his family needed his presence. In an interview, his wife, Deborah, claimed how Zack’s work is all-consuming.

Given the nature of his work, Snyder realized that getting back to work would mean he would be neglecting his family at the time of dire need.

“The demands of this job are pretty intense. It is all-consuming. And in the last two months, I’ve come to the realization … I’ve decided to take a step back from the movie to be with my family, be with my kids, who really need me. They are all having a hard time. I’m having a hard time.”

As a result, Zack stepped down from his position as director for the movie despite Warner Bros. took options like postponing the release date into consideration. It was Snyder who voted against it.

After much consultation, Warner Bros. hired Joss Whedon, a famous director who made movies like The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Age of Ultron, and so on.

Fans Demanded #SnyderCut

When Justice League was released in 2017, there were a lot of fans who went home disappointed from the theatres.

There were many scenes from the original trailer that did not make it to the movie because Joss re-did most of the script.

As a result, avid DC fans began ranting for Snyder’s version of Justice League on social media under the hashtag #SnyderCut.

Christopher Nolan attended a private screening of Whedon’s Justice League, and he advised Snyder not to watch it.

Nolan, who directed legendary movies like Interstellar, Inception, reportedly said that the movie would break Snyder’s heart.

Four years after fans began asking for Snyder’s version of Justice League, it’s finally in action.

Zack and HBO Max took it upon their selves to give the fans what they were asking for years.

The movie is titled “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” and HBO Max released the official trailer in early 2021.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League For Autumn

Reportedly, Zack made his version of Justice because of all the fan demand and as a legacy for Autumn.

In an interview, Zack stated that #SnyderCut would not have been possible if it weren’t for Autumn.

“Without her, this absolutely would not have happened.”

Zack also incorporated Autumn’s favourite song into the official Teaser of the movie. According to Zack, Autumn’s favourite song was Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”

The movie also says “For Autumn” at the end according to Zack himself.

Update:

This is a picture of what the movie screen looks likes just before the end credits begin rolling.
