The second image is his last filmed appearance on record as far as I’m aware. The first two images are from the video: https://youtu.be/-ZX02oxk0eU?si=RyMYHhmEft9nSAfq
He was going around his residence of Celebration, Florida and admiring the Christmas decorations and other festivities involving the grinch. He seemed perfectly fine and he went to bed and never woke up. It’s not known yet how he died. I personally believe it could be a heart attack or natural causes. His friend called the police after he did not respond to texts or phone calls. The police deemed the house secure and left in the morning. The fire department and other paramedics arrived later that day after his friend got a ladder and climbed and saw he was unresponsive in his bed. He sadly was already dead.
I’m so shocked. He generally seemed fine in his last video. It’s so unfortunate this happened. RIP Adamthewoo or David Adam Williams.
He filmed his last sunset and commented how good it was. Some people don't get that
😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😪 This breaks my heart.
I just posted a tribute in the ATW sub. I feel your pain man. Many of us do. I hope you find some peace this holiday season just know you’re not alone.
I believe there is a currently unedited Daily Woo upload that he never got to send out
Part of me greedily hopes it does, because it means one last ride.
I've never heard of him until now, but this really freaks me out that he died in his sleep at age 51! I just turned 50, and hell, it could be me not waking up tomorrow morning. The scary thing is if it's natural causes or heart attack, etc, it could literally happen to ANYONE, no matter what age. Poor guy 😢.
That's why hitting your 50's is called snipers alley. Scary stuff, Poor fella.
Holy shit, no wayyyyy. I’ve never heard of that time period being called that but WOW, that is such an accurate yet wild analogy.
Not to freak you out, but I've known 2 men in their twenties who died of sleep apnea.
PSA: if you think you might have sleep apnea, get checked out.
I have sleep apnea, and when i had my first test, i quit breathing for over three minutes at one time. Freaked the tech out! Needless to say, I sleep with a cpap every night, I want to wake up! Lol.
CPAP does miracles....if you snore and snore loudly.....probably got it!
It's maddening the common claim in online links and various sources is that you cannot die of sleep apnea. Why, yes you sure can. ☹️
I’ve worked as a technologist in sleep medicine for 27yrs and seen cardiac arrhythmias and sleep apnea that scared me. I agree, if you think you have sleep apnea talk to your doctor and have a sleep study performed.
I think dying in your sleep, no matter the cause, is the best way to go out.
I don’t mind the idea. But I’d hate to die between the time my wife leaves for work and the time my son wakes up to go to school.
That’s one of my biggest fears too, dying in my sleep and my daughter being the one to find me. Even though she’s 14, she still comes into my room every morning to say good morning before school, and she pops in at night to say goodnight. So the chances of her being the one to find me feel very real.
I’ve been dealing with some serious health issues that my doctors haven’t been able to figure out yet, and that fear has become a constant mental loop for me. I know I’m probably making myself feel worse by fixating on it, which only adds to the stress but it’s hard not to. I just keep hoping that if something ever did happen, it would be during her dad’s custody week.
My boy is 12 and he does the same every morning. I’ve told him what my phone passcode is and how to call for help in case he forgets 3 clicks of the power button.
Hopefully he’ll never need it.
I did the same thing with my daughter. Her and I are staying with my family right now, so she knows if something is wrong, she needs to immediately get my sister (who is almost always home). Then call 911 while my sister is assessing the situation.
I really hate that I have to think about this, but I also have to be realistic.
It's the only thing I pray for for myself. Please let me be asleep.
For the person who passes, sure. But I had to find my Dad like that in 2023, he wasn't ill at all, and the trauma of it has destroyed me. I was diagnosed with PTSD from it. Every time someone said that to me afterwards, I wanted to scream at them.
We lost my grandpa like this, grandma screaming for him woke the neighbors and they called 911. Agreed it’s super traumatizing for the people left behind, but it is also peaceful for the person so it’s hard. I’m so sorry that happened to you
My grandfather died like this as well but in a care home. It wasn’t us who found him and given his age it wasn’t really unexpected either. I’m glad he likely didn’t suffer.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Same thing happened to me, I get it. I was 10 when I found him and ever since I’ve found the idea of dying in your sleep terrifying, it changes something in you. Mine was even at Christmas, just like David here.
Sorry for your loss. If you haven’t had any PTSD treatment I highly recommend looking into it, I had a lot of luck with EMDR a few years back. I’m not “cured”, but I don’t get flashbacks constantly anymore.
Paramedic here, I had EMDR for PTSD for some bad jobs, genuinely changed my life. I can't recommend this enough. If you are struggling, please talk to someone ❤️
You're an absolute darling, thank you. I couldn't thank you and your colleagues enough for how professional and caring you are.
It did me, too! I was shocked how much it did for me, honestly. I’m so glad it helped you, and thank you for what you do…I have two family members who are paramedics and I have so much respect for what y’all do for us all!
I've been waiting for EMDR to be offered after asking for it, but I guess it's a postcode lottery. I saw a couple of people from adult support services, that was over a year ago and heard nothing back. It's impossible to even see my GP. It's just being stuck in the same place 24/7.
Thank you, and the other person who replied too. It meant a lot to me.
You may want to look into books about EMDR techniques you can use for yourself.
Thank you for a different perspective and sorry for your loss
I can relate.
My father died in his sleep when I was 16.
I will never forget that morning and even to this day seeing a fire-truck in my neighborhood makes me nauseous.
Mostly, I try not to think about it. But it fucked me up bad.
It fucked my whole family up.
Sending you hugs, fellow Redditor.
I’m so sorry you had to find him that way.
I'm so sorry for your loss and that you went through that. The same thing just happened with some family friends (a couple who my parents were good friends with. I've known them since I was a kid, and they kind of treated me like their own kid since they were unable to have children). They were on a cruise and sadly the wife found her husband had died in his sleep. On one hand, I'm glad he didn't suffer, but on the other hand, I know that she is just in shock and traumatized right now. Obviously I wasn't there to witness it, but I've been sad and depressed over it. Just imagining that they were finally enjoying retirement, and what should have been such a fun vacation turned into a nightmare. They'd even had another cruise planned for next year. ☹️
Yeah idk. Watching my dad suffer in the hospital for a couple months and have blood pour out of his mouth as he passed wasn’t exactly easier? I’m sorry that happened to you nonetheless
I'm so sorry that your Dad went that way, my comment wasn't set up to be a competition on trauma. This thread is about a man who died suddenly and was found unresponsive. I just wanted to say, when people say "oh that's the way we'd all want to go" with regards to dying in your sleep, it really isn't helpful for the family.
Right but it's best for the person who actually died.
Yes, that's what I said. I was talking about people who weren't ill and died suddenly. A completely well person going in their sleep probably wouldn't be sat there at heavens gates saying "atleast it was painless" .. they'd be pissed they were missing out on Halloween and Xmas Dinner .. etc.
I'm terrified of dying in my sleep. I would much rather know i was dying for at least 3 days beforehand. And give people I know a chance to say their peace, and me a chance to destroy all kinds of documents and stuff.
Clear browser history, delete bookmarks. Export passwords for family to gracefully close accounts of things you have overlooked.
That sounds good in theory, but the question is, do you wake up feeling pain and go "AAAGGHHH!!!" while struggling against the dying of the light, and people simply assume you went "peacefully" because they didn't actually witness you repeatedly crying "I don't want to go!!" like Spider-Man?
Idk. You're more likely to get lost and be disorientated on the other side and become a wandering soul. Might be better to go whislt conscious so you are aware you have passed and can move on etc.
If there's no afterlife at all theb it doesnt matter either way tbh.
even if there is an afterlife, none of that bullshit you just said can be confirmed lol. its just baseless opinion.
Enjoy every day my friends. Give your friends and loved ones that hug. You never know. RIP.
Yes. This couldn’t be more correct!
I’ve never heard of him. What kinds of videos did he post?
Lots of exploration videos, guided tours of historically important film sets, museums, abandoned places, and much more, but the above content was stuff I enjoyed watching over the years.
I knew him mainly for his Disney vlogs and because he got banned from Universal for breaking into some area and filming it for his YouTube channel. It makes me so sad that he never got to experience Epic because I know he made several comments regarding wanting to go.
Edit: someone asked and I wanted to specify i meant Epic Universe in Florida when I referenced Epic. Sorry about about.
I used to watch his videos all the time as a kid!!! I loved the video where he was exploring this abandoned golf resort. I can’t find the video now but it would make me laugh when I’d stay home sick from school. He almost slipped on a bunch of golf balls in one clip and he’d say something like “the meadows” randomly in a silly voice that would make me laugh. RIP Adam ❤️
What a loss. Loved this guys videos and the extent he would go to to cover stuff. Recall him being banned from Disney world lol
Yes and Universal. He never returned to Universal Florida but he would often go to Universal SoCal.
Why did he get banned?
Trespassing but he understood the risks he was getting into.
Did this dude ever play in punk bands in central Florida circa late 90s early 2000s… he looks so familiar.
Yes, he did
Yes!
Think he was in one called The Antics.
Wtf.. been watching him for years
Not that it matters but the friend that found him was Mike aka German in Venice. What a terrible turn of events.
I’ve been watching his videos for many years, he was really good at what he did. This is terrible news. RIP.
So tragic. I watched a video of his only 2 days ago. May he rest in peace 😔
These comments are giving me anxiety. I definitely shouldn't have read this right before bed.
[removed]
How are you doing?
Well, I woke up on the right side of the grass, so can't complain!!
Perfect, just making sure!
Thanks for following up. You're very kind.
I got your back.
May he rest in peace. I loved him and Tim’s friendship. They were always so goofy together. I remember them both trying some weird dessert at Epcot and being like “Yuck wtf is that???” lol. But continued taking more bites of it nonetheless. He had a lot of people who cared for him.
Also, not to change the subject, but the Grinch in that first photo is low key terrifying.
Don’t go check his snark subreddit. It’s gross. Some people are pretending like they were fans just giving him a good ribbing. Snark subreddits are so fucking gross.
I actually found out through the search bar on here and the top posting was in the snark sub. Went over to the comments because I couldn't help myself and that shit pissed me off so bad. Like you spent all this time and energy shitting on this guy and now that he's dead you want to boo hoo over the loss?
Just like when kingcobrajfs died. So many people trolled him, and then when he passed away to all of a sudden everyone was sharing their condolences.
And it was especially weird to see his dad basically thanking everyone for being such a good friend to cobra even if it was just online. It made me wonder if his dad didn’t understand the concept of online trolls and thought they were all friends of his son.
Oh shit. 😬 ... There have been times where it seems like he was aware of the trolls.
Adam was a great documenter RIP bro
enjoyed his stuff, so sad
I used to watch his urbex videos. This is really sad to hear about.
Adam the Woo, the Carpetbagger and Jordan the Lion were my top travel vloggers that I watched religiously. Haven’t watched them in a couple of years, but this news was a shock and definitely hit harder than I was prepared for.
This is an absolute travesty this guy made amazing videos.
Damn this is sad. I was subbed to his channel when I first watched the highway 66 one.
I would sign to die in this way. Rest in peace
Yes. It’s unfortunate this happened but things happen that no one has control over.
Ride the Monorail in the sky, brother. RIP 🕊️
NO
He could pass as a brother to Lee Pace a bit.
Absolutely awful - I grew up watching his videos (and didn’t even ask my mom) :(
Knew this dude decades ago when he played in a band.
Yes. He had a very successful YouTube career afterwards. He was very well known at Disney World and in Central Florida including in Celebration, Florida.
He was one of my favorites. :(
Damn that town is definitely cursed. If you know, you know.
I had never heard of him so I pulled him up on YouTube and watched that last video. He and the Grinch were so entertaining! It’s awful to know he died shortly afterwards. RIP
So do they know what happened?
Not sure yet. Might have been a heart attack.
God, I used to watch him all the time….
wow… i loved his content. you just never know sometimes
Adam the Who?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I’m so shocked
the grinch claims another victim
Why do you personally believe that?
Because most of the time when you sleep and never wake up, it’s heart related or natural causes.

If you don’t know anything about this dude you should really keep your thoughts to yourself.
He doesn’t appear healthy in any of these photos. ❤️🩹
He doesn’t look fit, but he doesn’t look like someone I’d expect to drop dead at any moment.
