what happened to coach tyler wall

Coach Tyler Wall, a fitness coach who appeared in a MrBeast YouTube challenge video titled "Lose 100 LBs, Win $250,000!", tragically passed away unexpectedly on February 18, 2025, in Greenville, North Carolina. The cause of his death was determined to be mitragynine toxicity, which is linked to the psychoactive compound found in the kratom plant known for its opioid-like effects. During the challenge, Tyler was coaching contestant Majd Khader, who was attempting to lose 100 pounds to win the prize money. Wall developed a close relationship with Majd throughout the challenge. He was found dead in his apartment roughly 80 days into the filming of the challenge. The news of his passing was delivered to Majd during the challenge, which deeply affected him, but he chose to continue and complete the challenge in honor of Coach Wall. MrBeast and his team obtained permission from Tyler Wall's family to post the video, which included a tribute to the coach. Following his death, many tributes poured in, and a GoFundMe campaign was launched to support his family. Tyler Wall was remembered as a remarkable and compassionate individual who greatly impacted those around him through his fitness coaching and kindness.
