AROUND YOUTUBE Billy LeBlanc’s girlfriend, who contracted a virus from eating raw oysters, died at the age of 41.
Both LeBlanc and his partner Natalie Clark contracted the Vibrio vulnificus virus after eating fish for supper.
LeBlanc, who spent many days in the intensive care unit alongside his lover, was on the verge of death.
Twelve days were spent in the hospital for the two, eight of which were spent battling for their lives in the critical care unit (ICU). The YouTuber posted on Instagram that LeBlanc’s girlfriend had passed away before he even woke up.

After eating oysters, we both felt ill for a few days. LeBlanc posted, “When I woke up the next morning, she was gone.
The content author mentioned their enjoyable experiences together in another post that featured them traveling together.
“It will always stay with me how we got lost everywhere together.” I will always adore and miss her.
“Take care of yourself and your loved ones; you never know when you’ll see them again.”
In memory of her son’s late lover, LeBlanc’s mother wrote a heartfelt statement on Facebook.
After eight days in the ICU, Billy came dangerously near to passing away, and Natalie died. She stated, “Please continue to pray for Natalie’s son Julian and her family, as well as for Billy’s health and his heart.”

The CDC estimates that eating raw seafood results in around 80,000 cases of Vibrio vulnificus per year.
Individuals infected with the virus may not survive for one to two days following illness.
Seventeen-year-old Julian is Clark’s son.
On Mother’s Day in early May, she shared a photo of herself with her son on social media with the caption, “Thank you, son, for the best date ever!”The best thing that has ever happened to me is you.
Nine years ago, the celebrity lost his 13-year-old son Caleb, and now his girlfriend passed away in a horrific accident.
Leblanc has three children with Katie, his ex-wife, one of whom was Caleb.
The influencer’s kid unexpectedly passed away after a heart attack in 2015.
Caleb underwent routine medical examinations because hypertrophic cardiomyopathy runs in Katie’s family. But the adolescent was not reacting, and the hospital subsequently declared him dead.

LeBlanc originally posted videos of his ex-wife Annie and his three children, Hayley, Caleb, on YouTube.
The pair took a while off from creating content after Caleb passed away. They returned to the platform in 2019.
However, their return was brief as they divorced later that year.
Upon launching his own channel, LeBlanc persisted in sharing films chronicling his life. He began including Clark into his videos in 2020.
