Brandon Buckingham, a popular YouTuber known for his documentary-style and street-interview videos, has been admitted to the ICU after suffering a rapid and dangerous decline in his health.
The 30-year-old shared a heartbreaking update with fans on November 21, writing on X: “In the ICU, my heart is failing, my lungs are failing, my liver and kidneys are failing. Things are not looking good my friends. I love you guys.”
Doctors Previously Suspected Serious Infections
His ICU announcement came just two days after he revealed that doctors believed he may be battling tuberculosis, septic pneumonia, and/or liver failure. “Pray for me guys,” he wrote in his earlier post.
Just a week before the emergency decline, Buckingham appeared hopeful. On November 10, he posted a photo from his hospital bed saying: “I’m out of the hospital for now and my condition seems to have stabilized. God willing, in a few weeks I will be able to start improving.”
Cause of Sudden Health Collapse Still Unknown
It remains unclear what triggered his severe deterioration or when his symptoms first began. Buckingham had also opened up about mental-health struggles in late September following the death of his grandmother.
At the time, he wrote: “I haven’t been in a good place for a bit… I am struggling with my mental health.” He added, “I feel I have more people waiting for me in heaven than here on earth… I love you grandma, say hi to Kyle for me. I wish I could die with you 💔.”
