YouTube star's cause of death revealed after passing away unexpectedly at 26
The YouTube star P2istheName's cause of death has been revealed nearly three months after he was found dead in Los Angeles at just 26.
The County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner released the streamer's cause of death on Tuesday and stated that he had died of natural causes on March 14.
P2istheName (real name: Philip Enewally) was said to have died of 'sudden cardiac dysfunction.'
The Medical Examiner also listed 'solitary papillary muscle hypertrophy' as the cause of his sudden cardiac arrest, adding that the condition is a 'subtype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is a risk factor for a sudden fatal cardiac event.'
P2istheName was discovered in the mail room of his apartment building after collapsing.
According to the press release, responding paramedics were unable to revive him and pronounced the YouTuber dead at 3:11 p.m. PT.

Sudden cardiac dysfunction, which is also called sudden cardiac arrest, is a common cause of deaths worldwide.
According to the Mayo Clinic, it occurs when all heart activity sudden ceases as the result of an irregular heart rhythm.
People suffering the condition stop breathing and fall into unconsciousness, which can quickly become deadly.
However, a swift response with CPR or a shock to the heart from an automated defibrillator may be able to save an affected person's life.
The new press release doesn't indicate if drugs or alcohol played any role in the YouTuber's death, but there was no indication of substances present when he died.
The LA County Medical Examiner's release noted that a full report on P2istheName's death will be released at an unspecified future date.
Following the unexpected news that P2istheName had passed away, fellow YouTuber COLETHEMAN paid tribute to Enewally on social media, remembering him as a generous friend.
'My good friend @P2istheName has passed away… wow. I'm honestly at a loss for words. He was always so kind to me and gave me so much content creation advice. May he rest in peace. This breaks my heart,' he tweeted.
P2istheName's last YouTube video was uploaded about two weeks ago.
In a previous post, he mentioned plans to move from Los Angeles to Atlanta.
Notably, he also found success outside of YouTube with his clothing brand, DontMindUs.
Several of his videos showcased him personally packaging and shipping out merchandise to fans.
In many of his final uploads from Los Angeles, he was seen frequenting mailrooms and shipping centers, having completely sold out his entire inventory.
Enewally gained a massive following through his NBA 2K and Fortnite gaming videos.
He later expanded into broader gaming content, including Let's Play walkthroughs.
The star also shared glimpses of his life with his four million subscribers, including videos like one where he took fans through 'a day in the life of a young Black millionaire' in Los Angeles.
While his recent uploads averaged between 20,000 and 60,000 views, he once attracted millions of viewers per video.
In recent months, he had opened up about feeling 'lost' on YouTube, sharing his struggles with declining viewership and uncertainty about the future of his content.
Fans showed their love and support online, with one writing, 'This man was my childhood, I still can't believe ts is real. May he rest in peace.'
Another shared, 'Never been touched by a celebrity's death like this one.'

Experts reveal factors that accelerate your biological age
Biological age, unlike chronological age, reflects how well your body functions based on lifestyle, stress, and cellular health, and can be reversed through lifestyle changes. Experts like Dr. Mattias Bernow and Dr. Mohammed Enayat emphasize that factors such as chronic stress, poor sleep, lack of exercise, and ultra-processed foods accelerate biological aging by increasing inflammation. Simple lifestyle adjustments such as quality sleep, regular exercise, a balanced diet, and meaningful relationships can slow down biological aging. Supplements like protein, collagen, fish oil, magnesium, creatine, and polyphenols can support healthy aging when used thoughtfully alongside healthy habits, but should not replace them. Determining biological age requires blood tests that analyze DNA methylation patterns, such as the Horvath Clock, GlycanAge, and DunedinPACE, with experts advocating for consistency in maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle over extreme measures.

Want to lower your biological age? Doctors reveal key lifestyle changes
Wellness trends are known for their fleeting popularity, from the low-fat diets of the early 2000s to today's focus on ultra-processed foods. Now, a new trend called " biohacking" has emerged, fuelled by figures like Bryan Johnson and numerous podcasts discussing cell health and biological age. But what exactly is biohacking? How can you determine your biological age, and does it truly predict your lifespan? Experts in stem cell and longevity research are beginning to clarify the meaning of biological age, methods to reduce it, and why it's rapidly becoming a key metric in modern medicine. What is biological age? Biological age – a measurement of how well your body is functioning based on factors like lifestyle, stress and cellular health – is different to chronological age, as it isn't fixed, and (perhaps thankfully) you can reverse it. According to longevity experts, biological age provides a more accurate picture of health span than the candles on our birthday cake. And increasingly, it's being treated as something we can influence. CEO of Cellcolabs, Dr Mattias Bernow, who provided the stem cells for biohacker Bryan Johnson, explains that this measurement is, 'a marker of how old your body seems based on your health, lifestyle and cellular function.' In other words, you might be 50 on paper, but living like someone 35 – or 65. 'Two people who are both 40 years old chronologically might have very different biological ages depending on how they live, their stress levels, their metabolic health and more,' says GP and founder of London's longevity clinic, HUM2N Dr Mohammed Enayat. The good news is that many of the biggest culprits behind accelerated ageing are changeable. Both Enayat and Bernow point to chronic stress, poor sleep, lack of exercise, ultra-processed foods and environmental toxins as major accelerants. Parenting itself doesn't inherently age the body, but, as Enayat points out, the chronic sleep deprivation and stress associated with caregiving certainly can. Inflammation is another central player. 'These factors contribute to increasing low-grade inflammation,' Bernow explains, 'which plays a key role in age-related decline and the development of chronic disease.' But this process, he says, is not set in stone. 'While we can't control everything, small, consistent changes to reduce these stressors can make a meaningful difference in how we age.' When it comes to slowing the clock, it turns out the best advice isn't ground-breaking – it's just often overlooked. Quality sleep, regular movement, a balanced whole-food diet, meaningful relationships and avoiding harmful substances all rank highly on the evidence-based list. Enayat also points to practices like caloric moderation, intermittent fasting and resistance training for their 'strong results in slowing biological ageing at a cellular level.' However, these diets impact each sex differently, with intermittent fasting in particular causing more stress on women's bodies while being effective for men, meaning they will affect biological age differently. How big a part do genetics play? Though it's tempting to think of ageing as a genetic lottery, our DNA doesn't write the full script. 'Genes load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger,' Enayat says, noting that genetics may only account for 20 to 30% of ageing outcomes. Bernow says that emerging research suggests as much as 80% of ageing is governed by one's environment and behaviour. Supplements claim everything from healthier skin to better energy to thicker hair – but it's fair to be sceptical of whether they really make a difference, or if it's all marketing. However, there are some supplements that have been proven to be helpful if taken correctly and absorbed properly. ' Protein is essential for preserving muscle mass,' says Enayat, while collagen 'may help with skin and joint health,' though its systemic anti-ageing benefits are modest. Fish oil, magnesium, creatine and polyphenols all show promise too, but Enayat is keen to emphasise that supplement should support – not replace – healthy habits. Bernow cautions that while some supplements, like vitamin D, are well-supported (especially in sun-deprived regions), many products on the market are poorly regulated. 'Supplements are not a substitute for healthy habits,' he says, 'but in some cases, they can play a supportive role if used thoughtfully.' How to find out your biological age and what healthy habits the experts incorporate If this has sparked a curiosity to find out your own biological age, figuring it out requires a blood test. 'The most validated tests look at DNA methylation patterns,' says Enayat, and suggests well-known tests like the Horvath Clock, GlycanAge and TruAge. Bernow says that Bryan Johnson uses the DunedinPACE test, which claims to show he's ageing at just 0.66 years per year (66% of his chronological age). As for how these experts practise what they preach – they say it's all about balance and consistency. Enayat's daily habits include either walking, strength training or stretching, prioritising plants and healthy fats, regular fasting, cold exposure and supplementing with omega-3, vitamin D, magnesium and creatine. 'The goal is consistency, not perfection,' he says. Bernow takes a similar approach, but with less exercise and more socialising, explaining he takes a short morning workout, has plenty of family time, eats balanced meals and drinks minimal alcohol. 'More than anything, I believe in consistency,' he says. 'Longevity isn't about extremes but about the things you do every day, for years.' So, while biohacking might conjure visions of futuristic and expensive tech, the real secret to ageing well is actually much simpler – by prioritising balance and relaxation – not difficult at all in today's world!
