family

The family of David Adam Williams, better known as YouTube personality Adam the Woo, has shared his cause of death. The travel vlogger’s father revealed in a Monday Facebook post that his son died of natural causes.

“Our beloved Son … your beloved friend … died, in essence, of a heart attack in his sleep from health issues he probably never knew he had,” wrote Jim Williams, who said he had received his son’s medical examiner’s report earlier that day. “Now, we can all stop guessing. Be grateful the Lord allowed him to die at home and not in a foreign country. Be grateful he was found by friends (as hard as that was) and not some nameless stranger.”

Jim Williams shared that Adam Williams’ official cause of death was atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, with obesity as a contributory factor. According to the American Heart Assn., atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is caused by plaque buildup on arterial walls. Hypertensive heart disease is related to high blood pressure.

Williams, known for his theme park and urban exploration videos, was found dead in his Celebration, Fla., home on Dec. 22. He was 51.

A self-described “‘80s pop culture nerd with a desire to travel and video what I see,” he had posted more than 4,000 videos about his adventures at Disney and Universal Studios theme parks, pop culture conventions, movie filming locations, abandoned cities and more since 2009 across two YouTube channels. Combined, his channels had more than 1 million subscribers.

“If you never met Adam, I want you to know, that how you saw him on video, that was our son,” Jim Williams said in a Jan. 11 YouTube video about his son. “That was how Adam lived his life. He was always courteous, he was always kind, he was always patient with people. He was always gentle, even when he had to correct people. … He would stop and talk to everybody.”

Williams, who had addressed his Facebook message to Adam’s friends and fans, concluded his post with gratitude: “Thank you for loving Adam.”

WASHINGTON — Families of two Trinidadian nationals killed in a Trump administration boat strike last October sued the federal government on Tuesday, calling the attack a war crime and part of an “unprecedented and manifestly unlawful U.S. military campaign.”

The lawsuit is thought to be the first wrongful death case arising from the three dozen strikes that the administration has launched since September on boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. The complaint will test the legal justification of the Trump administration attacks; government officials have defended them as necessary to stem the flow of drugs into the United States but many legal experts say they amount to a brazen violation of the laws of armed conflict.

The complaint echoes many of the frequently articulated concerns about the boat strikes, noting for instance that they have been carried out without congressional authorization and at a time when there is no military conflict between the United States and drug cartels that under the laws of war could justify the lethal attacks.

“These premeditated and intentional killings lack any plausible legal justification. Thus, they were simply murders, ordered by individuals at the highest levels of government and obeyed by military officers in the chain of command,” the lawsuit says.

The Defense Department said in an email that it does not comment on ongoing litigation.

The lawsuit was filed by the mother of Chad Joseph and the sister of Rishi Samaroo, two Trinidadian nationals who were among six people killed in an October 14 missile strike on a boat traveling from Venezuela to Trinidad. The men were not members of any drug cartel, the lawsuit says, but had instead been fishing in the waters off the Venezuelan coast and were returning to their homes in Trinidad and Tobago.

The two had caught a ride home to Las Cuervas, a fishing community where they were from, on a small boat targeted in a strike announced on Truth Social by President Trump. All six people aboard the boat were killed.

“These killings were wrongful because they took place outside of armed conflict and in circumstances in which Mr. Joseph and Mr. Samaroo were not engaged in activities that presented a concrete, specific, and imminent threat of death or serious physical injury, and where there were means other than lethal force that could have reasonably been employed to neutralize any such threat,” the lawsuit says.

The death toll from the boat strikes is now up to at least 126 people, with the inclusion of those presumed dead after being lost at sea, the U.S. military confirmed Monday. The figure includes 116 people who were killed immediately in at least 36 attacks carried out since early September, with 10 others believed dead because searchers did not locate them following a strike.

The lawsuit is the first to challenge the legality of the boat strikes in court, according to Jen Nessel, a spokesperson for the Center for Constitutional Rights, which filed the lawsuit in federal court in Massachusetts on behalf of the families, along with the ACLU and others.

Nessel said in an email that the center also has a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking the release of the legal justification for the strikes.

KATIE Price’s surprise Dubai wedding to new husband Lee Andrews has been confirmed as non-legally binding.

The former glamour model shocked fans – and family alike – when she said ‘I do’ to the businessman over the weekend after a whirlwind romance.

The nuptials – which took place at the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai – were officiated by part-time DJ and celebrant Darryl Rees, who has since broken his silence on his involvement that day.

“What I do is a symbolic wedding,” he told the Daily Mail. “I’m like the showman, and then they get married in the courts with all the paperwork.”

Darryl, who has been operating as a celebrant in Dubai for over five years explained that couples who opt for these style of nuptials have to then have the legalities carried out in a Dubai court or UK registry office either pre or post-ceremony.

Darryl added that the newlyweds “mentioned that they were going to get the wedding legalised the day after on the Monday.”

It’s currently not known if Katie and Lee have filed to make their marriage official in a court of law.

“From my point of view, they seemed like a lovely couple,” he said of his experience of their wedding.

“They appeared very much smitten by each other. When I was speaking to Lee initially, he was clearly head over heels for Katie and very excited to marry the girl.

“And Katie seemed very taken with him as well. They were both looking into each other’s eyes the whole time when I was doing the reading, never looked away, just transfixed like any couple would be, madly in love.

Darryl revealed that Lee reached out to him on Saturday enquiring into his services, one day after the couple announced their engagement on Instagram.

“When Lee messaged me on the Saturday, he said ‘I want to do a wedding with my fiancée’.

“Then he gave me the names as Lee Andrews and Katie Price, and I was a bit taken aback, so I wasn’t that surprised when I saw it was indeed her the following day.”

Following their big day, Katie and Lee have been sharing several loved-up selfies on social media.

“The happiest Mr and Mrs” read one photo caption, with another photo showing the pair cuddled up together in white dressing gowns.

Now back in the UK – and seemingly apart – Katie took to Instagram to reaffirm her love for Lee amid concern from her family.

“Despite all the noise going on, I miss you Lee,” she said in a video posted on her Stories.

“I love you unconditionally,” she concluded, kissing her huge diamond engagement ring.

The Sun understands Katie’s family, including her children, Princess and Junior Andre, had no idea she was getting married for a fourth time.

A source has exclusively told us that her loved ones are set to take action after growing alarmed by the quick nuptials.

“They’re planning on sitting down with her for a serious talk today,” the insider said.

“Everyone is worried she’s spinning out of control.

“They haven’t even met this man and if she’s only known him a week, he could be anyone.

“Nobody is planning to hold back.”

NICOLA Peltz Beckham allegedly struggled to call her husband’s parents by their names in an interview given just months after their Palm Beach wedding.

The model and actress sat down with journalist Polly Barton for an interview with The Times in October 2022, six months on from their star-studded nuptials.

Following on from Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive Instagram statements, Nicola’s interview was republished this week with Polly making fresh claims about Nicola’s comments and what she believes really went down during the wedding dress row.

In a new op-ed for Grazia, Barton revealed that Nicola had trouble referring to her groom’s parents by their first names.

“I was struck by Nicola’s borderline inability to speak either David or Victoria’s names,” she wrote.

“The ‘she, Victoria, uh’ in the above quote, was as direct as it got, otherwise, it was just ‘Brooklyn’s mom’ or ‘dad’.”

Nicola referred to Victoria as she, and then corrected herself and called her by her full name when explaining the reason why she didn’t end up wearing a wedding dress by the fashion designer.

‘The truth is that I was in a text chain with my mom, Victoria and Leslie, who’s been my stylist for 10 years,” Nicola began.

“We all were on this tech chain together, and I was so excited to start the design process.

“Um, and then Victoria, um, was like… Oh! And this was in the middle of me filming [her directorial debut] Lola James!

“So I was very busy. And then she, Victoria, uh, was very busy, and then we started this text chain, and a few days went by, and I didn’t hear anything, then I think Victoria thought since I was on set, maybe she didn’t want to upset me, so she called my mom and said that she couldn’t make the dress.

“She said that her, um, atelier couldn’t make the dress in time,” she concluded.

A key revelation from Brooklyn’s social media statements saw him accuse his mum of pulling out of designing Nicola a wedding gown at the last minute.

‘My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress,” Brooklyn wrote.

Re-examining Nicola’s quotes from her interview now, Polly feels that Nicola was actually let down by Victoria over the wedding dress, although the full reasons remain unknown.

“That statement reads like a massaging of the rather ugly truth Brooklyn described on Instagram; his mother just not making the dress she’d promised,” Polly writes.

In the original interview, Nicola made it clear she was initially excited to wear a custom Victoria Beckham wedding gown, before later revealing how it didn’t happen.

‘I really, really wanted to wear [a Victoria Beckham dress] and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mom got to make that for me!” she said back in 2022.

“And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn’t end up wearing it.”

Signing off his tell-all statements, Brooklyn publicly told his parents that they can only contact him through lawyers going forward after growing increasingly frustrated by them mentioning him on social media.

On Monday, Victoria and David put on a united front in Paris in wake of the ongoing row.

The former Spice Girl received the Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres — Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters – regarded as one of France‘s top honours.

The couple attended the event with their three other children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, with Romeo and Cruz’s girlfriends, Kim Turnbull and Jackie Apostel also making an appearance to support Victoria.

Unsurprisingly, Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed the event and did not congratulate Posh – instead choosing to share a loved-up video to Instagram.

It contained a montage of lovey-dovey videos from Brooklyn and Nicola’s recent outings including packing on the PDA, walking her dog and dining out at a restaurant.
