It appeared that he was wearing women's clothing during the stream.
Otto was found dead in an attic in Breitbrunn am Chiemsee after the house also caught on fire.
A neighbor noticed the blaze and tried to put it out before emergency services arrived, but Otto had already died.
Stick Run’s official account initially stated it was aware of a Twitch livestream involving its creator and owner, Manuel Otto, “in which he appeared to have taken his own life.”
The account said Twitch had removed the stream and video, asked the community not to spread unverified information, and invited anyone with details to contact the team or local police.

An influencer?
He influenced me to snicker a little
Mentally ill man commits suicide. Condolences to family.
I have never heard of Stick Run.
Apparently this man was a game developer.
European..............
Uh, he set himself on fire on a livestream and died. What else do they need to know?
One less idiot... thousands to go.
He took his own life, that’l show us. He taught us a thing or two...
It’s hard to imagine a more painful way to go. A worker at one of my employers announced if his plan to murder his ex girlfriend’s father didn’t work he’d pour gasoline over himself and set it on fire. He said he thought that would be “a good way to go.”. The old man fought him off. The man then bought a gallon of gas and went door to door asking formatches. He took three days to die.
The Wikipedia page is in German, I think.
I guess it doesn't pay to be cheap.
One gallon! Really?!
Yes, he was German................
Was he playing VH’s On Fire during the show?
A couple other thoughts
He probably died High pumped full of opiates.
His Death prepared him for his after life with the exception of the smell of brimstone.
Published it as a 14-year-old in 2010, at that.
Given that that was the most notable thing that could be published about him, I wonder what happened in the remaining 16 years.
