#12It's heartbreaking and sad. His video a couple of days back was literally titled "You thought I was gone! Speedrun retruns"
The comments on that video was so kind and heartwarming where people wished him well.
While we don't know the exact cause, we can all agree that he was subjected to extreme bullying and no one stood up for him - most importantly FIDE!

#13Several years ago he taught kids locally in the Bay Area. Very sad to see someone go that's so young.

#14If life could be measured in potential moves considered, he lived
several lifetimes. Sad to see such a force of nature expire so soon.
Condolences to the Russian chick and their kid.

#15Ouch. Danya was a great player (world rank 151, USA rank 17). Popular player, teacher, streamer and chess event commentator. Studied at Stanford. The NY Times' current chess columnist. About to turn 30 years old.

#16This is terrible news if true; so young and such a positive voice and influence.
One of the best live commentators, and among a generation of savvy chess influencers he seemed particularly sincere and without motivation beyond love of the game and communicating it's brilliance to others.
RIP GM Danya

#17I'm shocked, he was a great teacher and seemed like the nicest dude of all the chess streamers out there.

#18I can't believe this. Yesterday I saw his last educational speedrun[0]. He was such a great positive dude and I really enjoyed his content.
He will be missed!

I would love to donate some to his family if anybody has a link to share.

To swiftly terminate that thread, it is not a hoax; his North Carolina friend Oleksandr Bortnyk confirmed it on his video stream.
