Popular YouTuber Paul Harrell has died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 58 – and he announced his own death in a heartbreaking clip.
‘If you’re watching me, I’m dead,’ the Oregon-based content creator told his 1.14 million subscribers in a video titled ‘I’m Dead’.
The six-minute clip was filmed in December 2023, and his family published it following his death on Tuesday.

Guns rights activist Harrell made the tragic announcement while sitting on a log in a forest, in the same spot where he first told subscribers he had been diagnosed with Stage 2 pancreatic cancer.
He previously reassured fans that his cancer had been ‘caught early’ and he would ‘be here for some time’.
But in his posthumous video, Harrell went on to chronicle how his health took a turn for the worse.
‘We did catch it early but not as early as I had thought,’ he told fans. ‘It has spread faster than I thought it would. My time is drawing very short.’
Harrell had been using crutches after fracturing his hip – an injury he revealed was triggered by his cancer after it spread to his bones and caused them to ‘crumble’.
