Tor Eckhoff – better known as Apetor – was a 57-year-old YouTuber who lived in Sandefjord, Norway and was best known for his weird and wonderful travel videos, live streams and love for Norwegian vodka.
Eckhoff reportedly died on Saturday after falling into an icy water while filming a video the previous day, according to a local news outlet.
They reported that he was taken to a hospital via an air ambulance, but sadly could not be saved.
Eckhoff had over 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube and had somewhat of a yearly tradition of notifying his followers that he was not dead on his birthday.
But, he died just five days after uploading a video for his 57th birthday titled “I am not dead, I am 57 today”.
Eckhoff’s partner also paid tribute to him in an emotional Facebook post.
"My very dear Tor ❤ Friday 26 November was a normal Friday. You went to a lake near Kongsberg, and you were looking forward to ice skating. You were supposed to film yourself, and use it in a video. You sent me a message when you arrived, with pictures of yourself and the water. Good conditions, you wrote.
But something went terribly wrong. You ended up in the ice water, and this time you did not get up again, as you have done so many times before!
In the end, you were picked up by divers and sent by air ambulance to Ullevål hospital. They did everything they could to bring you back to life, but you had been under water for too long. Saturday night, Johannes and I were with you when the doctors at the hospital turned off all the machines that had kept your body going.
Thank you for everything you have been to Johannes and me. We have endless good memories, and we miss you so indescribably! "
