Disgusting answers
The former World of Warcraft pro won first place at the 2010 MLG Washington DC, and his recent tweets included numerous disapproving comments that ridiculed or even “encouraged” his self-destructive statements.
Only a few hours later Reckful was already dead. This was confirmed by his roommates and his ex-girlfriend, who is known by the nickname BlueGoesMew. Byron “Reckful” Bernstein was only 31 years old.
Yes, it’s him. He’s gone.

Through the World of Warcraft account, Blizzard expressed its condolences and mourned the loss of one of the “most memorable WoW players of all time. In the MMORPG, countless players gathered in the evening to pay their last respects to Byron.
Today we all witnessed not only the largest in-game memorial but also the largest in-game player-driven event in the history of World of Warcraft
In times like this it's easy to think of the evil that people are capable of but we can't forget the purity and kindness as well. pic.twitter.com/5mzOSZrM3Z
