The cause of death for popular TikTok star Ben Bader was shared on Friday.

A 25-year-old social media influencer who gave advice on lifestyle and money died from heart problems, according to TMZ.

As a lifestyle expert, I often talk about heart health, and it’s so important to understand what that really means. Basically, ‘cardiovascular disease’ is an umbrella term for any condition affecting your heart and blood vessels – think things like heart disease, stroke, or heart failure. Now, while genetics can play a role, so much of it comes down to your daily habits. Things like smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes are major risk factors, but honestly, a generally unhealthy lifestyle is a big contributor. Taking care of your heart isn’t about complicated diets or intense workouts – it’s about making consistent, positive choices every day.

Bader had untreated hardening and narrowing of the arteries, the report stated. 

I’ve been scouring everything I can find, and I just saw this report – they looked at the official medical examiner’s files down in Palm County, Florida, and it says his death was from natural causes. It’s… it’s still so hard to believe, but at least we have that information now. I just needed to know, and finally, I do.

Okay, so the doctor basically said it’s probably in his genes! He told the website that his heart problems likely developed because of his family history, you know? It’s not just lifestyle, it’s built in! I just knew there had to be a genetic component, it makes so much sense! It’s devastating, but also…it explains so much. I’ve been saying it all along!

He died on October 23, hours before he was due to go on a date with his girlfriend.

According to police reports in the Daily Mail, Bader was discovered unconscious at Admiral’s Cove, a private club in Jupiter, Florida, around 6:30 p.m.

According to Jupiter Police Department spokesperson Shawn Reed, neighbors found the man and he wasn’t breathing.

Reed added that ‘lifesaving measures’ were conducted on Bader by first responders.

Police are actively investigating Bader’s death and haven’t dismissed the possibility that someone else was involved.

Bader was then transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Reem, Bader’s girlfriend, shared the news of his unexpected death on TikTok, describing the last few days as the most difficult of her life and saying she’s never experienced such a loss before.

Honestly, it’s just… devastating. Losing him feels like losing a piece of myself. He wasn’t just famous, he actually cared. He truly loved everyone he ever met, and his positivity was infectious. It was just… constant. It’s hard to even think about it without falling apart.

Bader had recently turned 25 on September 22nd, and he was planning a dinner date with Reem the night he died.

‘No one really knows [how he died] and it seemed to have been extremely sudden,’ Reem said.

There was absolutely no indication of what was to come—we had plans for dinner that evening, and he seemed perfectly fine.

She shared that she had spoken to him on FaceTime just a few hours before he died, and he had seemed perfectly happy and himself – smiling and joking as usual.

She wrote that Ben was the kindest, most caring, and most generous person she had ever known.

She spoke about the person she looked up to, saying it felt unfair that someone she gave her all to, and who gave everything back, was suddenly gone. She admitted it was selfish to feel that way, but couldn’t help it.

I’m grateful I had the chance to love him, but it’s hard seeing others move on so easily now that he’s gone. It feels like they don’t have the same weight of memories to carry.

She shared a video with a heartfelt message, writing ‘rest in peace Ben Bader’ and describing her late boyfriend as ‘the best man I’ve ever met’.

It’s just… heartbreaking. She wrote the most beautiful, yet devastating message, and it really hit me. She said to cherish your loved ones, to always tell them you love them, because life can be so unexpectedly cruel. She’s completely stunned, and so am I. He was truly one of a kind, and I’ll never forget him.

The Upham and Bader family told TMZ that Ben was a truly inspiring person who led with kindness, lived purposefully, and dedicated himself to making a difference in the lives of others.

The statement described Ben as a deeply influential person who touched the lives of all who knew him with his wisdom, humor, and kindness. He embraced life fully and motivated others to find meaning and connection in their own lives.

The statement also noted that Ben’s memory will live on through all the lives he impacted, and shared that he was born prematurely at 28 weeks.

This social media personality was popular on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, where they shared videos about lifestyle tips and managing money. They had a total following of over 200,000 people across all their accounts.

Oh my gosh, it feels like forever ago, but his last Instagram post was just over a month ago! It was from his 25th birthday party, and I’ve probably looked at that picture a million times. Seriously, it was the sweetest thing, and I wish I’d been there!
