Teenage cancer fundraiser Stephen Sutton has died peacefully in his sleep, his mother said on his Facebook page.
The 19-year-old, from Burntwood in Staffordshire, raised more than £3.2m ($5.36m) for charity after news of his plight spread on social media.
In a post announcing Stephen's death, Jane Sutton said he was a "courageous, selfless, inspirational son".
Stephen was diagnosed with terminal cancer aged 15.
Rather than dwell on his misfortune, the teenager drew up a "bucket list" of things he wanted to achieve before he died.
This led to him completing a skydive and playing drums in front of 90,000 people before the Uefa Champions League final at Wembley last May, among various achievements.
