Byron Bernstein would have killed himself after suffering depression, as he himself stated hours before the unfortunate event.


The gamer world is in mourning, due to the unfortunate death of streamer Byron "Reckful" Bernstein at age 31, who was considered the best player in "World of Warcraft".

Although an official version of his death has not been released, everything points to suicide, and it was his ex-partner, Blue Madrigal , who revealed the possible cause of the death through social networks.

"Someone I love killed himself. I wish I could have said something to prevent it ... Why?" He wrote from his Twitter account.

However, that was not the only message he wrote on that platform, and the young woman continued to express her pain at this sad news.

"I am lost. Something I feared for a long time has just happened. I cannot stop crying, it is very painful. Please, no," she added.

In addition, he showed that the attacks Byron received on social networks, could be the cause of the depression that led him to make the tragic decision to kill himself.

"Thank you to everyone who has communicated. I wish he could see how much he is loved and all the sweet things that people have said to honor his memory. Remember, his words / tweets affect people, even famous people. Please be kind, "he wrote.

And it is that Bernstein suffered constant attacks by unknown users in his live broadcasts, and he himself recently stated that he was going through a moment of depression.

In one of his broadcasts, "Reckful" he even invited a psychiatrist to speak to raise awareness and help other depressed people, and motivate them to seek professional help. 

"I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with my insanity" and "Please just know that in these situations the insane person does not feel in control of their actions," are the last messages Byron wrote on Twitter.

As revealed by E! News , apparently the young streamer proposed to his current girlfriend hours earlier, through a message published on Twitter

"I know I'll always be a little crazy ... and this is proof ... but at least you'll never be bored. Would you marry me, Becca?" Wrote the young man along with photos of his partner.

"Don't make her feel pressured to say yes, I'm completely crazy here. I haven't seen her in 6 months. The reason for the post is because I know it's the one I want forever, and I wanted her to know that my commitment is real." he added later.

However, it seems that Becca did not see the proposal "until it was too late", as she revealed herself on Twitter.
