Damn twitch has been all over the news recently. His family has a history with suicide as well; Byrons older brother killed himself 20+ years ago. This has gotta be tough for the family to take in

His twitter feed leading up to it was awful to read, you could see it playing out.

It has been nice to see the support pour out for him though.

Yeah.
I figured a lot of people knew who he ways. Never watched him, but it was hard not to hear people talk about him with how popular he was.

I don't bother with Twitch and don't pay attention to most popular social media "influences". All you've told me if he was a popular twitch streamer but that doesn't mean much to me as the topic title and post already tells me that. What did he stream? Why was he popular? Did he like pineapple on Pizza?

I'd say it was impossible to play world of warcraft for a meaningful amount of time and not have heard his name.

yeah not everyone knows who this person is

in fact, very, very, very few people know who this guy is

acting like you're surprised someone doesn't know who he is, is stupid, because it's not surprising.

I see it as a less a matter of somebody not knowing him -- which is 100% legit -- and more a matter of doing a "who?" in a suicide topic is just fucked up.

I don't know any twitch streamers... or sports stars... or car racers. Infact, most people on the planet don't know most people.

why did he kill himself?

hours before he killed himself, he posted on twitter proposing to his girlfriend (who he apparently hadnt seen in 6 months? I dunno the details) Then a couple hours later he posts:

I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with my insanity, Please just know in these situations the insane person does not feel in control of their actions


Then found dead a couple hours later . I dont much know any more details
