According to The Times of India, Ben Bader reportedly died after an unexpected sauna-related accident, though this account has not been confirmed by his family.

In her TikTok video, Reem acknowledged the sauna rumors and clarified that the cause of death is still unknown and that the family is waiting for more information.

She said, "As far as the cause of his death, it's still unknown. I believe his family should be told soon, but at the moment, no one really knows. And it seemed to have been extremely sudden. There were really no signs of this happening."

She shared that Ben had just turned 25 years old on Sept. 22 and seemed completely healthy the day he passed. The couple had plans to meet for dinner that evening, and she described their last FaceTime conversation as lighthearted and full of laughter.

“He genuinely loved every single person he met,” she said. “He was always dancing, always being silly, always being himself.” She recalled how Ben would bring her matcha every morning, make sure she never went hungry, and tell her “I love you” multiple times a day.

She said she would "nag him a lot about certain things, like being careful at the gym," and he'd tell her "nothing's ever gonna happen to me." She said he was "just so convincing."

Those who followed Ben online describe him as a creator who built community through sincerity instead of spectacle. His videos often focused on entrepreneurship, motivation, and personal growth, but what made him stand out was his warmth. He didn’t posture as a self-made success story.

Instead, he invited people into the process, mistakes and all. Friends and followers say he was quick to answer messages, offer feedback, or send encouragement to anyone chasing a dream.

Even when his audience grew, he stayed approachable, sharing lessons about discipline, mindset, and kindness. Many of his subscribers credit him with helping them start their first business or believe in their own potential.

Ben represented what online creators could be when they lead with heart. His absence leaves a quiet ache across the community he built, but the wisdom he shared and the compassion he modeled continue to ripple outward. And that's a beautiful legacy to leave behind.
