Tyler Wall dies during filming of MrBeast video; GoFundMe raises thousands for the late fitness coach

Tyler Wall’s sudden death has left the internet reeling, and his GoFundMe page is proof of just how deeply he impacted people. The fitness coach, known for his electric personality and life-changing coaching, tragically passed away during the filming of MrBeast’s viral video, Lose 100 LBS, Win $250,000!. Now, donations are pouring in, with thousands raised to honor his memory and support his family.

Who Was Tyler Wall?

Tyler Wall wasn’t just any fitness coach. He was a great guy - motivating, full of life, and endlessly supportive. He was helping contestant Majd Khader shed 100 pounds in a massive MrBeast weight loss challenge. But just days before the final weigh-in, tragedy struck. On Day 85, Khader was informed by the crew that Tyler had been found dead in his apartment.

The Tragic News During the Challenge

On Day 85 of the 100-day challenge, Khader was hit with news no one saw coming — Tyler had been found dead in his apartment. His sudden passing shocked the entire MrBeast crew and viewers who had grown to admire him onscreen.

The cause of Tyler Wall's death is believed to be due to Mitragynine poisoning. This news came based on a death certificate obtained by Newsweek. Mitragynine is a compound found in kratom, a substance that’s been both praised and scrutinized in health circles. This news has shocked most fans who watched him on social media and also on MrBeast's YouTube video.

A Family’s Tribute Through GoFundMe

Shortly after his passing, Tyler’s sister, Kaitlyn Lindsay, launched a GoFundMe campaign in his memory. She described him as “astonishing” and “magnificent”—a friend to all, a playful soul, and an uncle who adored his niece and nephew. The campaign’s goal? To cover funeral expenses and a celebration of life. But with donations still pouring in, the extra money is being set aside for Education Savings Plans for Tyler’s niece and nephew, whom he absolutely adored.

The Numbers So Far

As of now, the GoFundMe has crossed over $37,000 with 200+ donations. One of the most generous contributions came anonymously — a jaw-dropping $10,000. That’s the kind of impact Tyler had. People didn’t just like him. They felt him.

Did MrBeast Have Permission to Release the Video?

Some fans questioned the timing of the video release following Tyler’s death. But MrBeast quickly clarified that they had reached out to Wall’s family beforehand. And the family gave their blessing.

In the video’s description, MrBeast wrote:

• “With grace and wisdom, they expressed that Tyler would have wanted his message of hope and positivity to continue reaching others.”

However, fans are still calling MrBeast out for publishing the video at such a time and using it for gaining views.

A Legacy That Lives On

Tyler Wall may be gone, but his legacy is gaining momentum. From transforming lives on YouTube to inspiring thousands through fitness and kindness, his impact is undeniable. And with every donation made, his light continues to shine — one dollar, one memory, and one changed life at a time. RIP Coach Wall. The internet won’t forget you.
