Yurok advocate Celinda Gonzales died in a Feb. 3, 2026, murder-suicide in Weitchpec, CA, leaving behind a legacy in rural mental health advocacy.
Celinda Gonzales, a 59-year-old Yurok tribal member and mental health advocate, died in an apparent murder-suicide on February 3, 2026, in Weitchpec, California.
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office confirmed two deaths at a residence, describing the incident as consistent with a murder-suicide but releasing no further details.
Gonzales, who worked to improve suicide prevention and mental health care in rural Humboldt County—where suicide rates exceed the state average—continued her advocacy after losing her son and brother to suicide and after her grant-funded position ended in 2019.
The Yurok Tribe honored her as a beloved community figure and is offering grief counseling in her memory.
