Eighteen-year-old Ben Breedlove died on Christmas Day after fighting a serious heart condition for most of his life. Shortly before his death, he posted a two-part video on YouTube, in which he silently describes his ordeal through cue cards.
The video went viral after rapper Kid Cudi, who Breedlove says he once saw in a near-death experience, posted his emotional reaction to Breedlove's death on Tumblr.
