YouTube Star Ben Potter’s Cause Of Death Confirmed

The cause of death for YouTube star Ben Potter, known as Comicstorian, who tragically passed away in an “unfortunate accident” over the weekend, was disclosed on Tuesday, according to a report.

Potter, 40, was driving his Toyota 4Runner on I-25 near Fort Collins on Saturday at 9:19 a.m. when he veered off the right shoulder and onto a service road, causing his vehicle to roll several times, the Colorado State Patrol informed The Denver Post.

He was the only occupant of the truck, and no other vehicles were involved in the incident.

The beloved internet personality, who had over three million subscribers on YouTube, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators told the outlet that Potter was not believed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash. He was wearing his seatbelt and was not believed to be driving at a high rate of speed, the Colorado State Patrol reported.

Potter resided in Windsor, approximately 16 miles outside of Fort Collins.

On Monday, Potter’s wife, Nathalie, revealed that her husband had died in an “unfortunate accident.”

Nathalie praised her husband as the “rock” of their family off-camera, who did “his best to make everyone laugh and make sure they were okay.”

“To many of you, he was Comicstorian, voicing stories from across multiple different mediums. To his loved ones, he was one of the best and most supportive individuals anyone could ask for,” she shared in the post.

“As a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, or even just a stranger, Ben was loving and genuine. He was someone who would listen and make time for his loved ones.”

Potter launched his YouTube channel in 2014 and garnered a massive following by creating audio dramas for comics on his channel, Comicstorian.

The superhero enthusiast also posted videos expressing his opinions, reviews, and in-depth analyses of various comic books and superhero products, notably those from Marvel and DC films.

Additionally, he operated a gaming channel called Eligible Monster Gaming with nearly 200,000 subscribers, where he discussed “video game lore” from popular franchises like “Assassin’s Creed” and “Resident Evil.”

The self-proclaimed comic book nerd also had a vlog and manga channel named Mangastorian, which featured comics and graphic novels from Japan.

Throughout his 10-year content-creating career, the beloved YouTuber shared over 4,000 videos.

His wife has vowed to keep his channel alive to “honor him by continuing to tell great stories by great people, as well as to keep the memory of our very own superhero alive.”

“His channel was one of his greatest accomplishments, and while we all need our time to mourn him, I know he wouldn’t want it to end like this.”

“I ask that you respect my privacy as well as everyone else’s. Right now my priority is preserving everything he’s built and I don’t have any plans beyond that,” Nathalie wrote.

RIP.
