RIP for my brother who died at the age of 13. The bad thing is that I hadn't seen since I left Cameroon 4 years ago and all these days, I was just thinking about next summer so I have a chance to finally see him again..... GOD has a plan for all of us. We just gotta pray. HES GONNA BE MISSED #RIP #WHYHIM

As he states above, Embiid hadn't seen his brother in four years and was planning to make a trip to visit him this coming summer. Although the cause of death hasn't been officially confirmed, Sportnado reports that it was caused by an accident involving a vehicle.

Arthur Embiid was 13 years old.
