Police previously told the Daily Mail that Bader was found ‘unresponsive’ at Admiral’s Cove, a private members club in Jupiter, Florida, at around 6:30 p.m.
‘He was discovered by fellow residents and appeared not to be breathing,’ said Jupiter Police Department spokesperson Shawn Reed.
Reed added that ‘lifesaving measures’ were conducted on Bader by first responders.
They said an ‘active investigation’ is currently being conducted into Bader’s passing — and authorities have not ruled out foul play.
Bader was then transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Bader’s girlfriend, Reem, confirmed he passed ‘extremely suddenly’ as she wrote in a tribute on TikTok: ‘The past few days have been the hardest few days of my entire life and I’ve never dealt with this before,’ she wrote in a tribute on TikTok.
She added: ‘Especially not the loss of someone as important as he was to me… He genuinely loved every single person that he met and he was so positive all the time.’
Bader had just celebrated his 25th birthday just a month prior on September 22 and was due to go on a dinner date with Reem the night of his death.
‘No one really knows [how he died] and it seemed to have been extremely sudden,’ Reem said.
‘There were really no signs of this happening — we were supposed to get dinner that night and he seemed so normal.’
She continued: ‘I had just talked to him on FaceTime a couple hours before he passed and he was so happy and so normal and he was just smiling and being so funny.’

‘Ben was the kindest, most caring, most generous person I have ever met in my entire life,’ she wrote.
About her ‘hero’ and ‘inspiration,’ she added: ‘I know this is selfish but I just feel like I devoted my everything to him and he devoted his everything to me, only for him to be taken away.
‘I feel so lucky to have been loved by him but I’m also so jealous of the people who didn’t know him well because it’s just so easy to just move on.’
Over the clip, she wrote, ‘rest in peace Ben Bader,’ and called her late boyfriend ‘the best man I’ve ever met.’
In her caption, she penned: ‘please hold your loved ones extra tight and never forget to say I love you. life is unforgiving sometimes. I’m still in disbelief. he was such a special person.’
In a statement obtained by TMZ, the Upham and Bader family described Ben as ‘visionary who led with love, lived with intention, and turned his passions into helping others.’
‘He made a profound impact on everyone who knew him through his wisdom, humor, and compassion. Ben lived each day to the fullest, inspiring those around him to seek meaning, connection, and purpose in their own lives,’ the statement said.
The statement further said he ‘will continue to shine through the countless people he touched’ and also stated Ben was born prematurely at 28 weeks.
