What did Nathalie Potter write about Ben Potter’s Cause of Death?
Potter’s wife, Nathalie, did not explicitly reveal the cause of death. She shared news of his death in a lengthy post on social media. She wrote, “Two days ago, on June 8th, my husband, Ben Potter, passed away in an unfortunate accident. To many of you, he was Comicstorian, voicing stories from across multiple different mediums. To his loved ones, he was one of the best and most supportive individuals anyone could ask for.”
“As a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, or even just a stranger, Ben was loving and genuine. He was someone who would listen and make time for his loved ones. He would do his best to make everyone laugh and make sure they were OK. He was our rock and he’d reassure his loved ones whenever they needed it.”
“He was my world and I need time to be with friends and family. I have so many things I need to figure out but firstly, I need to grieve. I ask that you respect my privacy as well as everyone else’s. Right now my priority is preserving everything he’s built and I don’t have any plans beyond that.”
“His [YouTube] channel was one of his greatest accomplishments, and while we all need our time to mourn him, I know he wouldn’t want it to end like this.
