Us has reached out to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner for comment.
Enewally’s mother reportedly confirmed his death to TMZ on Saturday, March 15, asking that the family’s privacy be respected as they grieve. She also reportedly encouraged people to visit his YouTube channel as a way to honor his memory.
Enewally was a YouTuber with nearly 4 million subscribers to his channel P2istheName, known for his gaming videos — in which he played NBA 2K and Fortnite — as well as vlogs and pranks, among other video formats.
“My good friend @P2istheName has passed away… wow. I’m honestly at a loss for words,” fellow YouTuber ColetheMan wrote via X on Saturday. “He was always so kind to me and gave me so much content creation advice. May he rest in peace. This breaks my heart.”
In one of his final videos uploaded via YouTube earlier this year, titled “I Made My Own Clothing Brand and It Actually Worked,” Enewally spoke about the process of starting his own company.
“I’m trying not to cry right now. God is amazing, bro. God is amazing. [If y’all could only see] what it took to get here,” he said. “I literally was praying in the car for a beautiful drop, thanking God for even giving me the creativity to put this together.”
Along with a clothing line, he also founded a production company called Iced Entertainment. In his final video, Enewally revealed plans to move from Los Angeles to Atlanta, Georgia.
“I’ve been in Los Angeles like, my whole life,” he said in the video. “I feel like I’m in a place where I need to meet new people.”
He added, “I feel like I want there to be an era in my life where I leave my comfort zone, I leave Los Angeles and I finally take a big leap of faith and I’m not comfortable. I feel like I need that in this stage of my career and just in general.”
Enewally, who was driving his car while he spoke into the camera, went on to say, “I feel like when you are able to experience more things, you’re able to have more wisdom to really explain things.”
