OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. - A popular YouTuber known as Adam The Woo has died at the age of 51, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
Adam The Woo, whose real name was David Adam Williams, was found in his Celebration home on Monday, the sheriff’s office said.
Deputies first responded to Williams’ home Monday afternoon for a well-being check, but they were unable to make contact with Williams. They returned to the residence just before 3 p.m. for an unattended death.
"A friend had borrowed a ladder and looked in the 3rd story window to see a male on a bed that was not moving," the sheriff’s office said.
Authorities entered the home, and Williams was pronounced deceased. Williams’ father, who deputies said lives locally, was notified of his son’s death.
