    Ben Breedlove, an Austin, Texas, teenager who suffered a life-threatening heart disease for years that he chronicled on YouTube, died on Christmas Day, but not before recording his final videos.

    Breedlove, 18, who cheated death three times previously, died on Christmas after years of battling a heart condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, according to NBC news affiliate KXAN.

    The teen started his own YouTube channel, "Breedlove TV" and "OurAdvice4You," which he used as an outlet to explain the effects of living with a potentially fatal disease his entire life growing up. He shared his feelings on dating, offering advice for teens facing hardships.

    On Dec. 18, Breedlove recorded his final set of videos in which he talked about death, feeling at peace with the inevitable, and his battle to postpone death through a series of placards he used to tell his story.

    Keep your comments respectful please.
