Good luck to all the parents, children and anyone else affected by his death out there. Rest in peace Technoblade.
This is speculation but his symptoms and age appear consistent with metastatic osteosarcoma (bone cancer that has spread, typically to the lungs). Osteosarcoma treatment has not had a breakthrough in decades, so it's a very bad cancer to get. Surgical techniques have gotten more effective at preserving limb function, and there are more tools to ameliorate symptoms from aggressive chemotherapy, but the fundamentals ha…
You don’t need to share your theories on someone’s death to the world. It’s not your place and serves no purpose. When I had a friend that was well-known in the tech world pass, all sorts of people came out with conspiracy theories on what his “real” cause of death was. To the bereaved, coming across random theories just hurts. Outside of that, opining without any medical expertise or insights on how he died serves n…
22 is far too young. I've been watching his videos since 2017- the picture in today's video of him in a hospital bed with his 10 million subscriber play button absolutely destroyed me. He used to joke all the time about hitting 10 million subscribers as if it could never happen, and the fact that it did is a monument to all the time and effort he put in- should've lived to 100 million. A reminder to us all- life is p…
Yesterday I had a stroll at the local cemetery. We discovered children tombs. One girl died when she was six years old.
I can't imagine how hard that was for her parents.

You probably shouldn't do it in an obituary or something but this is just a HN thread.

Didn't get much news between his last surgery and now, which at the time was pretty upbeat having removed the tumour from his arm. Guessing it didn't stick and it metastasised beyond the original tumour. :(
Watching a father deliver a sons last words to the world is heartbreaking, doubly so for someone that brought so many so much joy.
