What was Muudea 'Twomad' Sedik's cause of death?
On Tuesday, February 13, 2024, an unknown party called the Los Angeles Police Department asking them to perform a welfare check on Twomad.
Twomad had reportedly been MIA for a few days – he wasn't responding to texts, calls, or DMs, wasn't posting on social media, and even missed a few appointments earlier in the week.
When the LAPD got to his residence, they, unfortunately, found the famous YouTuber unresponsive.
It was unclear how long he had been in that state, or how many hours or days it had been since he died.
TMZ was the first to report that there was drug paraphernalia found in his home.
Twomad's death is reportedly being investigated as an overdose, and no foul play is suspected.
It wasn't just Twomad's friends and family who grew concerned for his welfare over the past few weeks.
His millions of followers had even noticed a shift in his posting behavior, including strange tweets and unusual Instagram posts.
One of his last tweets, posted on February 8, 2024, appeared to be a picture of an assault weapon.
The internet influencer also hadn't posted on YouTube in over five months, which at one point made up the majority of his online activities.
Upon hearing the news, fans were left shocked at Twomad's untimely death.
He was only 23 years old.
"I couldn’t care abt opinions on this but rest in peace to twomad, biggest inspiration ever since 2018 to try content creation," tweeted one user.
"Speechless a bit, this has to be some publicity stunt," they added.
"Goodnight girl.. I wont see you tomorrow.." tweeted another user, referencing Twomad's viral video.
Still, not all of social media seemed to be devastated by the news.
Fellow YouTube star Jameskii posted a lengthy statement about Twomad just hours after the news broke out about his death.
