No cause of death for somebody so young usually means drug related.

Usually means drug or suicide. But maybe not. Accidents happen too.

I’ve never heard of him, but I’m most likely far older than his targeted audience.
His brother is probably going to need a lot of support, and a clear sense of purpose. I’ve always heard that most twins, especially identical twins, share a very strong bond.
To: BenLurkin
Yeah i dont recognize “social media star”
I understand media attention whores and the like.

They make millions. Contribution to society? I suppose most are laughing all the way to the bank. Of course a small number die as with all society.
