YouTuber Adam the Woo was found dead at the age of 51 in his Orlando home, according to authorities.
Deputies with the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office were sent to the online personality’s Orlando, Florida area home at 12:30 p.m. Monday afternoon to conduct a well-being check, a spokeswoman told TMZ.
Deputies were not able to establish communication with the YouTube star (whose full name was Adam Williams) at the time, the spokeswoman said.
Deputies came back to the house more than two hours later, at about 2:50 p.m., after a cal reporting an unattended death was filed, officials told the outlet.
Officials said a worried friend of Adam’s used a ladder to look through a window, and saw the YouTube star lying unresponsive on a bed.
The friend had made contact with Adam the day before, according to authorities.
