Heartbreaking new details have come to light surrounding the tragic death of TikTok star Ben Bader.

Shawn Reed, a spokesperson for the Jupiter Police Department, stated that the TikToker was discovered unconscious at his home in Admirals Cove, a private community in Jupiter, Florida.

‘He was discovered by fellow residents and appeared not to be breathing,’ Reed said in a statement.

He explained that both the first responders and medical staff worked to save Bader’s life with critical care.

They said an ‘active investigation’ is currently being conducted into Bader’s passing.

He was eventually transported to a hospital before being pronounced dead at the medical facility. 

The Palm Beach County Medical Examiner will determine the official cause of death, and investigators are considering all possibilities, including foul play, according to TMZ.

The Daily Mail reached out to the Jupiter Police Department for a statement, but they haven’t responded yet.

Twenty-five-year-old Bader, a popular TikTok creator who offered lifestyle and financial guidance, passed away on October 23rd.

Reem, his girlfriend, shared that he died unexpectedly. In a TikTok post, she described the last few days as the most difficult of her life and said she’d never experienced such a loss.

She explained that his loss was particularly difficult, as he was incredibly important to her. She remembered him as someone who genuinely cared for everyone he met and always maintained a positive outlook on life.

Reem said that his cause of death is ‘still unknown.’

Bader had recently turned 25, celebrating his birthday on September 22nd. 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 explained that she had spoken to him on FaceTime just a few hours before he died, and he had seemed perfectly happy and normal. He was smiling and joking as usual.

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

She spoke about the person she looked up to, saying, ‘It’s selfish, I know, but I feel like I gave him my all, and he gave me his all, and it’s just so unfair that he’s gone.’

It feels strange, but I’m incredibly grateful I got to love him. Still, a part of me envies those who didn’t know him as well – they have it so much easier, being able to simply move forward without all this lingering pain.

She shared a video with a message saying ‘rest in peace Ben Bader,’ and described her late boyfriend as ‘the best man I’ve ever known.’

She shared a heartfelt message, urging people to cherish their loved ones and always tell them how much they mean to you. She expressed her shock and sadness over a recent loss, describing the person as truly special and acknowledging life’s unexpected hardships.

The Upham and Bader family told TMZ that Ben was a truly inspiring person who led with kindness, lived purposefully, and dedicated his life to making a difference.

I was deeply touched by Ben, as were so many others. He had a way of sharing his wisdom, making you laugh, and always showing genuine compassion. He truly lived life to the fullest, and it inspired me – and I know countless others – to really think about what matters and find our own purpose.

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.

I’ve been following this creator for a while now, and they’ve really built a great community! They share all sorts of lifestyle stuff and, surprisingly, really solid financial tips across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. It’s amazing to see they’ve gained over 200,000 followers across all their platforms – they definitely deserve the recognition!

He last posted on Instagram just over a month ago, sharing photos from his 25th birthday party.

He also seemingly filmed and shared a financial advice video on the day he died.

He shared a series of photos with his girlfriend and friends, and jokingly wished for ‘more of everything’ for his birthday.
