Popular YouTuber P2istheName’s cause of death has been revealed nearly three months after he was found dead in a Los Angeles mail room at age 26.
The video streamer, known for his video game walkthrough clips, died of natural causes on March 14, County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner said Tuesday.
P2istheName — born Philip Enewally — died of “sudden cardiac dysfunction due to solitary papillary muscle hypertrophy,” the official cause of death determination added.
According to the Medical Examiner, the condition is a “subtype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is a risk factor for a sudden fatal cardiac event.”
The content creator was found in the mail room of his apartment building shortly after he collapsed.
Paramedics were unable to revive him despite life-saving efforts. Enewally was pronounced dead at 3:11 p.m. local time, according to the release.
It’s unclear if drugs or alcohol played any role in P2istheName’s death.
A full report on the video streamer’s death will be released at a later date, LA County Medical Examiner said.
Following the shocking news of his death, fellow YouTuber COLETHEMAN took to social media to pay his respects.
“I’m honestly at a loss for words,” the streamer, who boasts nearly 1 million subscribers, wrote on X. “He was always so kind to me and gave me so much content creation advice. May he rest in peace. This breaks my heart.”
P2istheName gained popularity early on in his content creation career, playing titles like Fortnite and the NBA 2K series.
In most of his videos, he offers detailed play-by-play analyses of challenging game scenarios to help players better understand them.
His final video was uploaded on Feb. 24, titled “A regular night with my rich ‘psychotic’ friends.”
The YouTuber had also recently launched his clothing line, DontMindUs.
As for his personal life, fans learned earlier this year that Enewally was leaving his native Los Angeles for Atlanta.
In several videos shared before his untimely death, the streamer could be seen packing up and shipping out clothing orders with his CyberTruck.
Enewally spent the last few months of his life worried about his dwindling viewership on YouTube.
He had opened up about feeling “lost” and shared his struggles with the uncertainty surrounding the future of his content.
Indeed, the viewership of his videos declined dramatically, with recent clips averaging only 20,000 to 60,000 views — a steep drop from his previous videos, which regularly attracted millions of views.
