Kevin Samuels was with Ortencia Alcantara, a nurse, during his last moments

The late influencer was at his apartment during the incident that occurred on May 6, 2022. Samuels was accompanied by a 32-year-old named, Ortencia Alcantara at the time of his death.

Alcantara, who is a nurse by profession, shared that the late YouTuber complained of chest pain before turning blue and collapsing on top of her.

The 32-year-old nurse called 911 informing them about the incident and seeking assistance to help Samuels.

A recording of her 911 conversation was acquired by TMZ and later shared on the internet. The nurse informed the 911 representative about what had happened and told them that she was giving Samuels CPR. She also requested an ambulance. Part of her call included:

“I just need to give him CPR. Yes! [I need an ambulance] It's Kevin-f******-Samuels. No, [he is not awake.] He has no regular rhythm, I can't feel it. He is breathing in and out but he has no regular rhythm.”

She added:

“I'm not sure what it is. He's not breathing, I'm trying to give him CPR - he's breathing now, but I think he has irregular rhythm. Please hurry. I'm a nurse, but I'm trying to do CPR.”

She revealed that it was the first time she had visited Samuels and had no idea what his apartment number was. The call included her trying to keep the late creator stable and requesting him to keep breathing.

Alcantara was heard saying:

“Come on, Kevin, you got this, just try to breathe. Come on, think about your mom. Think about your daughter.”

The nurse was on the call with 911 representatives performing CPR until the arrival of first responders.

Kevin Samuels was found unresponsive when medical authorities reached his apartment and rushed him to the Piedmont Atlanta Hospital. He was later pronounced dead by professionals at the hospital.
