I read through all the Reddit threads, and there’s only speculation.

All the videos are gone now, but apparently he had been acting a little strange in his recent live streams. You can find comments about it on Reddit even if the video is gone. In short, he seemed off.

There was also some evidence presented that the bullshit accusations levied against him were, unfortunately, really getting to him.

Still hoping it was all just some tragic accident. We’ll probably never know for sure. But it’s a huge loss to the community - gone far too young.

It says so much that every single creator had such wonderful things to say about him. We should all strive to be such a positive force in the world.

In March, the Marine Corps ordered Marines diagnosed with pseudofolliculitis barbae, which leads to unwanted bumps and painful ingrown hair from frequent shaving, to undergo medical reevaluation within 90 days to determine whether they still required a waiver.

That administrative message outlined a phased treatment plan for Marines affected by the condition, with the ultimate goal of “returning service members to grooming standards and ensuring maximum warfighting readiness.”

About 60% of Black men are affected by the condition, according to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology.
