Popular YouTuber Twomad has died at the age of 23. The social media star, born Muudea Sedik, was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Tuesday, Feb. 13 following a welfare check by the Los Angeles Police Department, law enforcement sources told TMZ. Although his cause of death has been deferred, per online medical examiner records reviewed by E! News, his passing is reportedly being investigated as a possible overdose.
Concern over Twomad’s wellbeing grew among his fanbase in recent weeks after the YouTuber began sharing a series of strange posts to X (formerly Twitter) of various firearms, including machine guns and handguns. A welfare check was requested after the star hadn’t been heard from in several days and had also missed several appointments. When officers with the LAPD arrived at Twomad’s home, they found him dead. It is unclear how long he had been deceased by the time his body was discovered. Law enforcement sources said no foul is suspected, adding that Twomad’s passing is being investigated as a possible overdose after drug paraphernalia was reportedly found at the scene.
