The witty child behind the ‘Where we about to eat at?’ viral video has died of complications from his autoimmune disease at age six.
Antwain, who went viral after his mother posted a hilarious clip of him saying ‘Where we about to eat at?’ while he was sitting in his car seat, was diagnosed with a disease called autoimmune enteropathy in July, 2015 after turning one.
The sad news was confirmed by Antwain Fowler’s mother, Chyna, on his Instagram profile on Sunday.
The pain in my heart is like no other. Why God,’ the image read, while the caption stated ‘Never in a million years My heart is out my chest’
Antwain was diagnosed with a disease called autoimmune enteropathy in 2015
He underwent 25 surgeries, and was unable to drink milk, or eat solid foods during his earlier childhood, his family said
However, Antwain managed to convey his joy for life and silliness in the videos that made him internet-famous
In the description of a GoFundMe that has raised more than $54,000 for expenses associated with his illness, his family had described how it had affected his life.
‘The first four years of Antwain’s life was an everlasting fight, and very crucial experience for his family. Through unlimited prayers, faith, and doctors working around the clock Antwain is progressively healing; and truly grateful for all that he’s accomplished thus far,’ the page read.
The family has yet to confirm the exact cause of his death, but Antwain’s more than half a million fans have expressed their support to his mother in the comment section.
Although Antwain managed to convey his joy for life and silliness in the videos that made him internet-famous, he suffered from several ailments throughout his young years that often made him stay in and out of hospitals.
He underwent 25 surgeries, and was unable to drink milk, or eat solid foods during his earlier childhood, his family said.
However, many found inspiration and felt drawn to his mischievous and courageous character.
Just five days ago, a video of Antwain wearing shoulder pads and dancing around had been posted on his profile.
He recently had a procedure called intravenous immune globulin done to help him gain muscle, and his mother seemed hopeful that it would be the beginning of his recovery.
His mother had also posted on Instagram that Antwain wanted to be a character of ‘Squid Games’ for Halloween, but didn’t have the chance because he spent the holiday in the pediatric ICU. Instead, he wore a Marvel superhero costume from his hospital bed.
‘Missed this year! he wanted to be a SquidGame character. Next year son,’ she wrote.
His fans have offered an outpouring of support and encouragement to his grieving mother.
