Popular video creator and YouTuber Emman Nimedez has lost his battle against acute myeloid leukemia; leaving thousands of fans grieving over the demise of their beloved “Pambansang Oppa”.
Through his Facebook page, Emman’s girlfriend Peachy Santos announced the sad news on Sunday, 4 a.m.
“Our beloved Emman Nimedez joined our Creator at 1:00 a.m. today, August 16, 2020, Sunday. He was with his family during the time of his passing at St. Luke’s Medical Center-Quezon City. Our family is thankful to everyone who offered prayers and showed support. Funeral details will be announced in the next days. We hope everyone will respect the family’s privacy to mourn the passing of Emman. Thank you,” read the official statement.
On May 17, after looking back at his journey as a YouTuber since 2011, the 21-year-old announced that he has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.
“Ito na siguro yung pinaka-malaking hamon na binigay sa ‘kin ng nasa itaas. Mahaba-habang pakikipagtalo sa sarili bago ko tuluyang mai-post ‘tong video na to. Pero sa napagtanto ko, kailangan niyo rin talaga ‘to malaman. Masyado nang malayo yung pinagsamahan natin para hindi ko kayo isama sa biyahe na ito. Medyo malubak lang at matarik kumpara sa mga naunang biyahe. Pero kapit lang. Makakatawid tayo,” he wrote in the caption of the video he posted, which became YouTube’s #1 on Trending back then.
On Thursday, August 13, the internet star was rushed to the intensive care unit and was reportedly in critical condition due to kidney failure and blood complications.
