This is truly shocking and very sad.
On Thursday afternoon, YouTube star Roman Atwood revealed his mother, Susan Anne Christman, tragically passed away while they were on vacation together as a family. She was only 58.
In a statement to his over 3 million Twitter followers, the 36-year-old detailed the scooter accident that ultimately ended her life:
“As many of you know, my family and I are on vacation together. Yesterday my mom was riding around with my nephew on some little scooters. She fell off hers and hit her head. She immediately lost vitals. No heart rate and her breathing stopped. She was rushed to the hospital where we spent the next 8 hours. My beautiful mother passed away shortly after. I need everyone to understand that I will be gone for a bit.”
He went on:
“I will be by my family’s side, especially my father’s. We are rushing back home to Ohio to figure everything out. Please pray for my family and especially my father. I’ve never been in more shock in my life. I’m numb and in complete disbelief. My heart is so heavy. We are all broken over here. My mom was everything to us.”
Absolutely heartbreaking.
