Writing on Instagram, Nicha confirmed his death and said he died from an aneurysm as she paid tribute to her ‘amazing and incredible’ partner.
The influencer said prior to his death he had been experiencing pain in his neck.
On Saturday, Nicha wrote on social media: ‘Yesterday his past away by aneurysm .. I was there with him in the room.. he put on the necklace in my neck that he made for me.
‘Then ..we was just lay down cuddle, .waiting the time to go meet Noel at the gym at 16.00 ..he was in my arms.. than this is just happening too fast.. 3 days ago he kept said that he pain his neck .. we not really realize it… until it too late.’ [sic].
A cause of death has not officially been confirmed.
Just days ago, Lindner posted a TikTok video in the gym, which fans have since been commenting with tributes.
‘Fly high king, rest in peace,’ one wrote.
Earlier this month, the social media star had expressed a fear of death, speaking to fellow YouTuber Bradley Martyn.
He said: ‘The heart is also a muscle, that’s my biggest concern that what if I get such a bad cramp that my heart gets a cramp.’
