YouTuber P2istheName died in March at age 26.
Now nearly three months later, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office has released his cause of death.
On Tuesday the coroner’s office said in a news release that the influencer, born Philip Enewally, died from “sudden cardiac dysfunction” due to “solitary papillary muscle hypertrophy.” His manner of death was ruled as natural.
Sudden cardiac dysfunction, also known as sudden cardiac arrest, occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating, according to the American Heart Association. “Most cardiac arrests occur when a diseased heart’s electrical system malfunctions,” the association says.

Enewally was found unresponsive in the mail room at his apartment complex in Los Angeles on March 14. The city fire department responded and pronounced him deceased at 3:11 p.m.
An autopsy was completed on March 16. At the time, TMZ reported the coroner’s office was awaiting toxicology reports and foul play was not suspected. Enewally’s cause and manner of death were officially certified on June 10.
The influencer was popular online. He had more than 3.8 million subscribers on YouTube, thanks to his content about NBA 2K, Fortnite and other video games. Another 753,000 people followed him on Instagram.
His last YouTube upload was on Feb. 24. The vlog titled “a regular night with my rich ‘psychotic’ friends” has over 360,000 views.
Just days earlier, he posted a video saying he was leaving Los Angeles and moving to Atlanta “to meet new people.”
In a 2020 interview with VoyageLA.com, Enewally said he viewed working as a content creator on YouTube as a form of art because he had the ability to “make someone laugh, scare someone, make them think, make them smile.”
