Gamers and Twitch fans are in mourning this afternoon, as reports confirming the death of streamer Byron “Reckful” Bernstein have hit social media. Both his girlfriend and his roommate have relayed the tragic news. (And now his brother.)

Reckful began his career in World of Warcraft esports over a decade ago, then became a Hearthstone pro and variety streamer. Memorials are already popping up across WoW, as are condemnations of those who harassed him knowing about his public struggles with depression. Redditors are memorializing him on the WoW sub, while Twitter fans are posting farewells in his last tweets and other streamers and WoW orgs speak their truth.

Update
Twitch and Blizzard paying their respects too:
