Well I was going to say the same thing but I was too embarrassed to admit being out of the loop. But I can't recall him ever being mentioned on this board before. I have only ever seen one image of him posted on this board (as a reaction to one of my comments, implying I'm a drunken burned-out goth metalhead I suppose), but I doubt the person who posted it knew who that was and I certainly didn't.

So anyway I did a reverse image search and it turns out this is Josh Saunders, who had a Youtube channel called KingCobraJFS. The first video I saw about him wasn't from his channel, it was a reupload of a video his dad made to address the rumours. The poor guy breaks down crying when he talks about how he'd gone to his son's house to take him to the hospital and found him already dead. Really heartbreaking to see, and I certainly can't say anything bad about KingCobra after watching that.

The strange thing is that looking at the KingCobraJFS channel you see he'd been vlogging for 8 years, and most of the videos he's just ranting about something while drinking weird alcoholic "drink combos" and the average viewcount is around 5K views. His most popular video is a 36 second clip from 8 years ago called "Magic cigerette trick" which got 220K views.

But now Youtube is full of tribute videos, and a documentary about him has 496K views!

I could almost believe that this is a character who has been completely made up, like a real-life version of the "Roy Jay" meme. More likely it just says something about the nature of internet culture, where reaction videos get more views than the video they're reacting to.
