Heartbreaking new information has come to light regarding the unexpected passing of TikTok sensation Ben Bader.

The 25-year-old, who gained popularity for his lifestyle and financial tips aimed at the youth, passed away unexpectedly on October 23. His sudden death occurred after he failed to meet up with his girlfriend for a planned date.

Authorities have now informed the Daily Mail that Bader was discovered unresponsive at a private club in Jupiter, Florida, on the same day by other occupants of the facility.

“He was found by fellow residents and seemed not to be breathing,” shared Shawn Reed, a spokesperson for the Jupiter Police Department, with People.

Reed also noted that emergency personnel attempted life-saving procedures on Bader when they arrived at the scene.

They said an ‘active investigation’ is currently being conducted into Bader’s passing — and authorities have not ruled out foul play.

Bader was eventually transported to a hospital before being pronounced dead at the medical facility.

A final cause of death will be determined by the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner and nothing has been ruled out by authorities, foul play included, TMZ also reported. 

The Daily Mail has contacted the Jupiter Police Department for further comment but did not immediately hear back.

Bader, a rising TikTok influencer known for giving young people lifestyle and financial advice, died at age 25 on October 23.

His girlfriend Reem confirmed he passed ‘extremely suddenly’ as she wrote in a tribute on TikTok: ‘The past few days have been the hardest few days of my entire life and I’ve never dealt with this before,’ she wrote in a tribute on TikTok.

She added: ‘Especially not the loss of someone as important as he was to me… He genuinely loved every single person that he met and he was so positive all the time.’

Reem said that his cause of death is ‘still unknown.’

Bader had just celebrated his 25th birthday just a month prior on September 22 and was due to go on a dinner date with Reem the night of his death.

‘No one really knows [how he died] and it seemed to have been extremely sudden,’ Reem said.

‘There were really no signs of this happening — we were supposed to get dinner that night and he seemed so normal.’

She continued: ‘I had just talked to him on FaceTime a couple hours before he passed and he was so happy and so normal and he was just smiling and being so funny.’

‘Ben was the kindest, most caring, most generous person I have ever met in my entire life,’ she wrote.

About her ‘hero’ and ‘inspiration,’ she added: ‘I know this is selfish but I just feel like I devoted my everything to him and he devoted his everything to me, only for him to be taken away.

‘I feel so lucky to have been loved by him but I’m also so jealous of the people who didn’t know him well because it’s just so easy to just move on.’

Over the clip, she wrote, ‘rest in peace Ben Bader,’ and called her late boyfriend ‘the best man I’ve ever met.’

In her caption, she penned: ‘please hold your loved ones extra tight and never forget to say I love you. life is unforgiving sometimes. I’m still in disbelief. he was such a special person.’

In a statement obtained by TMZ, the Upham and Bader family described Ben as ‘visionary who led with love, lived with intention, and turned his passions into helping others.’

‘He made a profound impact on everyone who knew him through his wisdom, humor, and compassion. Ben lived each day to the fullest, inspiring those around him to seek meaning, connection, and purpose in their own lives,’ the statement said. 

The statement further said he ‘will continue to shine through the countless people he touched’ and also stated Ben was born prematurely at 28 weeks.

The influencer was known across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube for sharing lifestyle content and financial advice — boasting a combined following of more than 200,000 people across his multiple social media platforms.

His final Instagram post came a little over a month ago and commemorated his 25th birthday celebration.

He also seemingly filmed and shared a financial advice video on the day he died.

‘All I want for my birthday is more of everything,’ he captioned a carousel of photos with his girlfriend and his friends.
