Influencer Tyler Wall, 38, dies in the middle of MrBeast challenge
The personal trainer lost his life while taking part in a challenge that required him to lose 100 pounds in 200 days.
Social media has become a space for all kinds of viral content. Some are entirely harmless, like videos of people reviewing restaurants. Others are far more dangerous, involving risky challenges such as extreme weight loss or jumping from great heights.
One such challenge—organized by legendary YouTube creator MrBeast—has ended in tragedy with the death of personal trainer and influencer Tyler Wall, age 38. The news was confirmed by MrBeast himself in one of his latest videos.
Tyler was participating in one of MrBeast’s well-known competitions, where the objective was to lose 100 pounds (around 45 kilos) in 200 days while staying isolated in a house. Although the challenge took place months ago, the news wasn’t made public until the video was released—at the request of Tyler’s family.
The winner of the challenge stood to gain over €200,000 (approximately $215,000).“With deep sadness, we share the unexpected passing of trainer Tyler Wall.
He was an extraordinary person whose kindness and genuine spirit touched everyone who knew him. His loss has left our hearts shattered,” reads the video’s description.
