Drake Tester’s cause of death
On 2017’s Season 5 of The Curse of Oak Island, it was revealed that Drake Tester had passed away at the age of 16.
The Grand Rapids, Mich. native was mourned in his community as someone with a “positive attitude.”
When Drake’s death was announced, it wasn’t immediately clear what the teenager had died from.
