The popular Orlando YouTube vlogger Adam The Woo has sadly passed away, age 51.


Adam the Woo, whose real name was David Adam Williams, was found dead in his home in Celebration, on Monday, December 22, 2025 by the Osceola County Sheriff's Office following a well being check.


As first reported by TMZ, Osceola County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to Adam's Celebration home around 12:24 pm on Monday for a well being check. The home was secured, but deputies were unable to make contact with Adam who lived at the address by himself.


A spokesperson for the sheriff's office said in a statement that deputies returned to the address later in the day, at around 2:53 pm after receiving a call for an unattended death. Authorities say a friend became concerned, borrowed a ladder, and looked through a third story window, where he saw Adam lying on his bed not moving.


Together with Osceola County Fire Rescue, deputies entered the house and discovered Adam deceased in his bed.


Adam's cause of death is yet to be determined. and the Osceola County Medical Examiner will now conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.


Adam is survived by his Mom June and Dad Jim who lived nearby in St Cloud, together with his sister Faith, her husband and their children.



Adam had only days ago returned from a near month long Eupopean adventure, where he documented on YouTube visits to several locations including the Vatican City in Rome, the Leaning Tower of Pizza, the Matterhorn in Switzerland, and Disneland Paris.


In his final few days, Adam visited EPCOT in Walt Disney World, with his final YouTube video which he shared the day before his death, filmed in his hometown of Celebration, enjoying the holiday celebrations in Celebration Town Center.

Adam The Woo was a pioneer in the YouTube community, he started his YouTube career in 2009 on his "Adam The Woo" channel where he gained 407K followers, he then started his second channel, "The Daily Woo" which Adam has uploaded videos to, on an almost daily basis since nearly every day since 2011.


This was his most popular channel with 748K subscribers, here Adam documented his daily life, from visiting theme parks, movie filming locations, and abandoned buildings to trips to watching his beloved Tampa Bay Rays, and grocery shopping in his local Celebration Publix.


Adam was famously banned by Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando for filming backstage at both resorts, and while Walt Disney World did eventually allow Adam back, Universal Orlando did not.


Since news of Adams death was revealed, tributes have been pouring in from his friends and the YouTube community.


His friend in California, fellow Vlogger "Justin Scarred" was one of the first to pay tribute to Adam, "The world has lost a giant, and I have lost a friend closer to me than blood. I loved this man with my whole heart and I don’t know what to do or what to say. Please pray for his parents Jim and June and his sister Faith."


Justin went on to say that Adam really appreciated his fanbase, "He really had a hard time with talking to strangers sometime, but he really appreciated all of you. Those of you saying you felt like you knew him, you did. He may not have known you but you did know him. He gave a lot of the best part of himself to so many, and for what it’s worth, although he didn’t always know what to do with / how to deal with so many peoples love and admiration, it REALLY meant a lot to him."


Personally our family are heartbroken. For years we have watched on an almost daily basis as Adam documened his Florida life, we have watched as he moved from his St Cloud home to living in a van, travelling across the U.S. documenting all he came across. We watched as he set up home in LA, and then his move back to Central Florida, first renting a home in Celebration, and then buying his current home in the town he grew to love as his own.


We will miss our daily catch ups, and honestly, YouTube just won't be the same without you Adam. Thank you for sharing your life with us, for every journey you documented, and for the joy you brought to us. We are glad we joined you on your adventures, and we’ll miss you greatly.
