Byron “Reckful” Bernstein, a famous gamer on Twitch, has kicked the bucket, as indicated by social media posts from his exes and sibling. He was 31.
As per Blue Madrigal, his ex and one of the individuals who at first affirmed his demise via web-based networking media, Berstein took his own life.
Bernstein passed by the name Reckful on Twitch, where he was most popular for his “Universe of Warcraft” streams and had more than 936,000 followers. Most as of late, Bernstein had been functioning as an engineer on his own computer game, “Everland,” which was set to discharge not long from now.
Bernstein raised concerns early Thursday morning with a progression of tweets, one in which he seems to have proposed to his ex Becca Cho. He followed up the post a couple of moments later with, “Ahh, I feel terrible for any individual who needs to manage my madness,” requesting that his supporters “please simply know in these circumstances the crazy individual doesn’t feel in charge of their activities.”
Madrigal alluded to his death with several Twitter posts, the first of which reads, “I’m at a loss right now. Something I’ve been scared of happening for so long happened. I can’t stop crying.”
Madrigal then continued to tweet, saying “Someone I loved killed themselves. I wish I could have said something to prevent it.” She then shared a video of her with Bernstein and a screenshot of their text messages.
“He brought me to realize that I knew NOTHING about depression, NOTHING about mental health issues,” Cho wrote. “I had this vague idea of what it was and embarrassingly thought that I could help with trivial bulls—.”
