Famous adventure YouTuber Andrew Cross died after turning off life support more than a month after suffering a 'serious' traffic accident. He was 36 years old.
Andrew, known as the 'Desert Wanderer' with over 600,000 subscribers, suffered severe brain damage in the accident on Jan. 31.
Jenna, Andrew's sibling, said, "The people who were caring for Andrew connected him to the portable ventilator and took him around the intensive care unit with him. The staff lined up in the hallway to pay their respects."
She added, "Then, in the room, friends and family read the Bible, prayed, and sang for more than an hour while he was being removed from life support and afterward."
The deceased's family recently stated that they made the 'difficult decision' to remove Andrew from life support after he had spent more than four weeks in the intensive care unit.
Jenna announced that family, including Andrew's wife, decided to remove him from life support. She said, "I know that a life dependent on machines is not what Andrew wanted. It is also not God's will for Andrew."
Andrew, from Virginia, created content such as desert tours and mountain climbing for hundreds of thousands of viewers during his lifetime.
The deceased was tragically involved in a collision between two vehicles at the end of January. He suffered fatal injuries after being struck by a car that rear-ended him while he was stopped. The driver has been charged.
