@@mananimal3644 Benny's wife Nathalie just posted it was an "unfortunate accident". I don't want to speculate but since Rob of Comics Explained just saw him shortly before it occurred, it must have been really sudden maybe doing something innocuous.

As a wise man said, he was a big guy with a big voice, a big heart, and a big presence. I know his future plans would have been amazing. Miss you, Benny.

I just can’t believe this. in a time where everyone that starts a KZfaq channel just to sit up there and complain constantly about something they claim to love his was a positive place where you just had a smile on your face while you watched his videos.

He was one of the people who introduced me to comic books And I remember it. That's one of how I love making comics. The first ever video that I watched from him was the Ultimate Spider-Man series. He was my childhood. He made the characters so alive and real. As if they have souls. I was shocked as I heard the news of his passing. Part of me didn't even want to accept it and refuse that he's dead. Like he posted 3 days ago and I thought he was fine and playing a prank. I was trying to hold it together but I was crying, I couldn't hold it together. He really is gone. He was my childhood. He is my childhood. And he was and still is a legend to comic book history. His family will miss him, his fans will miss him, I'll miss him. He was a super man, a brave man. He made a difference. R.I.P Comicstorian 🕊🕊🕊
