Popular YouTube vlogger Lloyd Cadena’s family informed his Facebook followers Sunday he tested positive for COVID-19 before succumbing to a heart attack.
On Cadena’s official Facebook page, the family posted, “Lloyd was confined in the hospital on September 1 due to high fever and dry cough. He was tested for COVID-19 on the same day… the result came out positive on September 3.”
The family attested at the time, Cadena’s vitals “were okay” and that he “had no complaints.”
But only a day later, on Sept. 4, at about 5 am, hospital staff found the 26-year-old “unresponsive and pale looking.”
“As informed by the doctor, he suffered a heart attack while asleep.”
He has since been cremated.
The family added, “All expressions of sympathy, including flowers and cards are welcome. You may send them to our address at #14 Scarah, Kaingin Rd., Brgy. Sto. Niño, Parañaque City.”
Fans were quick to flood the post with comments.
They were one in thanking Cadena for all the fun and laughter he shared with them through the years.
Some went on to commend Cadena for the help he extended to the less fortunate despite not being that well-off himself.
