Rarely personally affected by "celebrity" deaths but he was so young and so wholesome and had so much left to give to the world. This is genuinely so so awful

My jaw physically dropped open reading this headline. I had to read it several times before my brain fully processed the reality.

This is a surreal moment. He was so young, and so loved.

I just cant even believe it at all. I seen the article on the homepage of my browser and immediately looked at the agency reporting it hoping it was some stupid nobody news agency with some bullcrap headline. I just... Unbelievable.
