OnlyUseMeBlade passed out during a livestream this week, prompting police to enter his home for a welfare check and shut down the broadcast.

The clip shows the longtime content creator lying motionless on a bed while his stream continues running. Multiple officers enter the room, attempt to rouse him, and check his condition. One officer then walks to the computer and ends the livestream.

The situation appears linked to his alcohol-heavy streaming format. OnlyUseMeBlade regularly drinks on stream, sometimes taking shots in response to donations. Viewers reported he became unresponsive after heavy drinking during the broadcast.

The welfare check was reportedly initiated either by concerned viewers who called authorities or by his mother after his phone number was allegedly leaked and spam-called while he was unconscious. The exact trigger remains unconfirmed.

OnlyUseMeBlade, whose real name is Brian, first gained attention as a Call of Duty YouTuber in the late 2000s known for knife-only gameplay and co-host of Pain Killer Already. He later transitioned to personality-driven IRL streaming on YouTube and Kick.

The 43-year-old has dealt with serious alcohol-related health problems for years. He recently confirmed losing toes to complications from drinking but has continued his alcohol-centric streams.

Another episode in a familiar pattern

This isn’t the first time emergency services have responded to his residence during a broadcast. The drink-for-donations format has repeatedly led to situations where he becomes incapacitated on camera.

Officers responding to the call appeared aware of the active livestream and moved quickly to end the broadcast. Welfare checks involving streamers often result in officers shutting down streams to protect privacy and prevent interference with emergency response.
