Former WoW player streamer Reckful has passed away
The streamer Reckful was known on the Twitch platform, where he was one of the highest ranked World of Warcraft players with more than 936000 followers. Recently, I was creating a new game called "Everland." His ex-girlfriend, known as Blue, confirmed his death, supposedly by suicide, a few hours ago.
Yes, it's him. He's gone.

His Twitter feed early Thursday included disturbing messages to which his fans responded with concern.
In January, he shared in a video that he lost his brother to suicide when he was 6 years old and had long fought for his mental health. However, he said he was getting better and that working on his new game had given "a meaning to life."
"I'm actually happy from day to day," he said in the video. I've never felt like this in my life. I'm not saying it will last forever, but now I'm happy.
Her fans shared their memories online today, including artist and online platform partner Andy Milonakis, who was sometimes featured in her videos. Many recalled times when he was open about his struggles and encouraged others in pain to seek help.
Rest in peace and thank you for everything Reckful.
