Madeline Ross, the older sister of streamer and internet personality Adin Ross, has died. She was 36.
The Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that Madeline passed away on Jan. 15 in Broward County, Fla. Her cause and manner of death remain pending as the investigation continues.
The news was first reported by TMZ and quickly spread across social media, where fans and fellow creators shared condolences while also urging respect for the family’s privacy. Ross, 25, has not publicly addressed his sister’s passing as of press time.
Madeline largely stayed out of the spotlight. She was one of three sisters Ross grew up with in Florida, and unlike her younger brother, maintained a private life offline. Another sibling, Naomi Ross, has built a following of her own as a social media influencer, but Madeline did not have a public presence tied to the entertainment or streaming industries.
Ross has become one of the most recognizable personalities in livestream culture, with broadcasts that regularly intersect with hip-hop, sports and politics. Over the years, he has hosted high-profile guests ranging from Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams to rap superstar Drake and even President Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign run. His streams routinely generate millions of impressions and frequently trend across platforms.
In February 2023, Ross was banned from Twitch over “hateful conduct” tied to his live chat. He was reinstated in February 2025, according to reporting from The New York Times, marking a significant moment in his return to the platform where he first rose to prominence.
Just weeks before news of his sister’s death became public, Ross made headlines again after revealing on a livestream that he had purchased the Albuquerque home made famous by the hit AMC series Breaking Bad. He told viewers he planned to preserve the property “like a monument,” allowing friends, family and fellow streamers to use the space while keeping it intact as a tribute to the iconic show.
As of publication, authorities have not indicated when a final determination regarding the cause of death will be made.
As the investigation into Madeline Ross’ death remains ongoing, this story continues to develop.
