Michiel Vandeweert, a Belgian content creator who documented his life with the rare genetic disorder progeria, died aged 28 on 10 August, having far surpassed doctors' initial prediction that he would not live beyond 12.
Vandeweert became known in Belgium and online for his gaming videos, social media posts and candid discussions about living with a condition that causes accelerated ageing. He built a following of more than 90,000 across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitch.
