Coach Tyler “Coach Wall” Wall, the trainer who appeared in MrBeast’s weight‑loss challenge video “Lose 100 LBs, Win $250,000!”, sadly passed away unexpectedly during the time the challenge was still going on.

What actually happened

  • Coach Tyler Wall was the fitness coach working with Majd in the MrBeast challenge, helping him lose 100 pounds for a chance at a cash prize.
  • Around day 80–85 of the challenge, MrBeast’s team and Majd were informed that Coach Wall had been found dead at his apartment in Greenville, North Carolina, on February 18, 2025.
  • In the final video, viewers see an emotional moment where Majd learns that his coach has died, and he decides to keep going with the challenge in Coach Wall’s honor.

Some outlets and fan summaries note that the cause of death listed later was “mitragynine toxicity” (a compound found in kratom) on documentation referenced by fan wikis and reports. Mainstream articles also mention there was a lot of online speculation about how he died, but they emphasize that much of that speculation contradicts the official records and that his family has asked for privacy.

How MrBeast and the video addressed it

  • The video’s description includes a tribute to Coach Wall, calling out his kindness and the impact he had on Majd and others, and says the team spoke with his family about whether to release the video; they agreed because they felt he would have wanted it to inspire people.
  • Inside the challenge itself, MrBeast later gives Majd a memorial photo of Coach Wall to honor his role in the journey.

Why people are talking about it now

  • After the video dropped in June 2025, there was a big wave of discussion on YouTube, X, Reddit, and news sites about:
    • The emotional way Tyler’s death was revealed on camera.
    • Whether the edit felt like an inspirational tribute or too exploitative of grief.
  • Some medical and commentary channels have also made videos trying to explain what is publicly known about his cause of death and debunk extreme rumors (for example, “heart exploding in sleep” and similar click‑baity ideas).

What we don’t know for sure

  • Exact personal circumstances in the days leading up to his death have not been fully shared publicly, and reputable outlets note they are deliberately avoiding repeating speculation out of respect for his family.
  • Beyond the cause listed in records referenced by reports, further medical details and any private struggles are, appropriately, being kept within his family and close circle.

Bottom line

Coach Tyler Wall, the trainer featured in MrBeast’s “Lose 100 LBs, Win $250,000!” video, died suddenly in February 2025 while the challenge was still underway, and the finished video includes both an on‑screen tribute and a very emotional reaction from Majd. Much of what you’ll see in forums now is people reacting to that moment, sharing condolences, and debating how the video handled such a tragic real‑life event, while reputable sources stress avoiding unfounded theories and respecting his family’s privacy.
