Officials entered the home and found 51-year-old Williams dead.
The investigation is ongoing, the sheriff’s office said.
Williams was a prolific YouTuberlargely known for his vlogs at Disney World and Disneyland.
Justin Scarred, a fellow YouTuber, mourned his friend, writing on Facebook that he is “devastated and lost.”
“He was a wonderful person, a true friend to me whenever I needed him, and I genuinely don’t know what to do without him,” Scarred wrote. “And not just me. I’ve spent all day on the phone with SO many people who were close to Adam, who he loved and who loved him. He touched many many lives, and he was preparing for another year of adventures, and I’m sure he would have touched even more. And I’m telling you, from a front row seat; he was the best. One of a kind. Irreplaceable.”
Williams created the YouTube channel The Daily Woo in 2012, which has more than 751,000 subscribers, where Williams took viewers along to different places, like the oldest operating McDonald’sthe house where “A Christmas Story” was filmed, and different conventions. He vlogged his entire road trip along Route 66 in 2018. The last video on the channel was uploaded Sunday and is of Williams vlogging his time downtown in Celebration, Florida, during Christmastime.
