Listened to Planet Caravan and had to go cry in the shower so the missus doesnt see me tearing up over our boy.
 
There absolutely shouldn’t be a grave or headstone because even if there’s 10,000 fans who go there and pay respects like normal people, all it takes is one asshole that defaces it or vandalizes it for it to ruin it for everybody. I don’t want Clint to have to go to visit his son’s goddamn grave only to see it vandalized and have to try to clean it up or buy a replacement headstone.
 
I was aware of him here on KF but did not follow him. Watching how upset people were Thursday night, waiting for word on whether he was okay, made it obvious he wasn’t the typical lolcow. His father’s video was deeply upsetting and I agree with those who say it was magnanimous of him to make it.

Thanks to those of you who have openly and honestly shared your grief and gratitude in equal measure.

Someone earlier ITT brought up that a headstone could be a target for trolling. It would be understandable if Clint chose to scatter him to avoid some retards disturbing Cobes' rest.

Can someone shed light on the laws of legal Wyoming 'immediate justice' for desecrating a stone? It might be prudent to construct 100 stones, the math checks out. Fuck the troles,

I reckon though that our boy is gone, it's no target for them, they'll move on, as they always do. They are cowards, I... have some thoughts, about this.. I would what one could describe as 'not happy.'.

It is genuinely heartwarming to see the outpouring of love. I feel like he would say something like "see, I told you I was a Gothic rockstar" or something along those lines if he could see this. Hell, even alot of longtime alogs, whether they are genuine or not, I've seen make long posts or tweets talking about how much he meant to them. I've never really seen this level of sadness and support from even the deaths of alot of celebrities, let alone people considered lolcows.

I think a lot of people know people like Josh. The slow kid from their high school that somehow got an apartment at 19 and let all the loser, degenerate scumbags stay out of naivete. Cobes was also relatable on a personal level. I saw more myself in him than I ever care to admit. In my case, I could have wound up like him if I didnt quit drinking. People feel like they know him in a way that doesnt feel parasocial.

What is it you might expect to see in those results?

Well, I think he was in a state respiratory acidosis so 02 was coming in, but C02 not coming out. You feel like you can't breath, and his organs were shutting down hence the pain. Basically the alcohol abuse caught up with him. It's so sudden though, that's the problem, he must have had an underlying health issue. That's the only thing I can think of. We only saw so much of his life in the last days. I imagine for every bottle he consumed on stream there must have been at least 3 we never saw.

If he had stopped eating besides the time he was streaming, then that's another factor. Food is the biggest saving grace for alcoholics. It pains me to say this. I think he turned to the bottle to pass on the next life.

Goddamn... You know, I watched his last drink combo video and shivered at the amount of vodka he poured himself. It was like 6 shots. Since I haven't had a drink in almost 7 years, that would for sure have me puking and blacked out, that one screwdriver he made.
 
I don't know what to call it, fitting? poetic? ironic? in the last weeks of his life, an Italian American sandwich youtuber convinced Cobes that life was all about good food, good drink, friends and family, god bless.
 
Tardy to the party, but a private funeral & non-publicized burial site are the best we can hope for and what our boy deserves, but we all know perfectly well that none if any of the above will/would feasibly pan out, and that's what sucks the most. Familial privacy was never even in the equation. Circle of protection on the BOY's resting spot, wherever it may be, and the Saunders clan. May a-logs perfect the noose knot.

Pancreatitis seems the be the number 1 suspect here. People that young tend to think they're invincible, I was just thinking the other day I need to cut down on the frozen foods and start meal prepping more healthy foods, I hardly ever eat fast food, but the frozen foods and ramen kind of negates that positive. Probably only good thing in my diet is the amount of water I drink, if I ever get sodas its a 12 pack and that will usually last me 30 to 45 days.

i was not eating well for few years, microwave tv dinner meals, ramen all the time and there were few moments where i got sudden sharp pain where pancreas is, first times it got away in fews seconds, the last time it lasted like 10minuts and was horrible. After i started eating normal cooked food (thanks to new job and their cafeteria where they cook meal) this pain newer went back last 4years. So definitely shitty food with not much nutrients eaten all the time for years will do this for you.
 
Over COVID I would often stick his love streams on as background noise, and he was goofy, weird and just happy nattering on. Dude kept me company in some really dark times, albeit unintentionally.

He was a little ray of sunshine to me in a very dark, lonely time. I don't drink but I had an awesome dinner in his honour the other night. May he be up there chatting to Ozzy and if not that, I hope he's found peace.
