For some, it comes with great sadness to learn of the death of controversial YouTube host, Kevin Samuels, who has passed away at the age of 56 - but how did he die? Speculation runs wild.
How Did Kevin Samuels Die?
Best known for his no-holds-barred approach to discussing sex, relationships and gender roles, which made him both a popular and polarizing figure, the highly controversial YouTube host and "image consultant", Kevin Samuels, 56, has been confirmed dead by his mom.
His mother, Beverly Samuels-Burch, declined to release details about what happened, however, informed NBC that she "learned of her son's death from social media", after rumours began to permeate suggesting that her son, a self-proclaimed "relationship guru" had passed away.
"That was a terrible thing for social media to put that out. I didn't even know. I hadn't even been notified," she said to NBC News. "All I'm doing is requesting that people pray for us."
An array of mixed responses flooded the internet including condolences and celebration (with no hint of surprise) for a man who once said: "If you live to 35 and you're not married, you're a leftover. You're leftover. Men know you may have a problem."
The cause of Kevin Samuel's death is currently unknown, but reports have indicated that Samuels had complained about chest pains before collapsing in the presence of a witness (woman), who reported the incident.

While Samuels was often criticized for his controversial views, there is no denying that the Atlanta born influencer was a talented communicator who knew how to get people talking. On the matter of high cholesterol, did Kevin Samuels suffer from it? From his close sources, there hasn't been a disclosure.
As the internet does (full of opinions), a Twitter user far-from-fond (of him), shared her views on the cholesterol debate: "So you're telling me Kevin Samuels had high cholesterol and had a whole heart attack and wanted to talk about fat women?????," she said - receiving 3.2k retweets and 22.3k likes.
In addition to growing a healthy YouTube channel with a million subscribers (plus), Samuels gained a strong following on Instagram where he'd often broadcast Q&As (questions and answers) shows with mesmerising special guests including the "Do We Have A Problem" rapper, Nicki Minaj, 39, and relationship expert, Shan Boody (Shannon Boodram), 35.
Samuels' was once rumoured to be dating baddie and author, Brittany Renner, 30, "a woman of substance" hated and loved as much her male equivalent. Samuels isn't survived by a wife (although reports suggest he divorced twice), and has a daughter, 21.
