A Twitch streamer known for his “World of Tanks” streams passed away on February 19 after being “on air” for 22 hours.
The 35-year-old Brian “Poshybrid” Vigneault died on February 19. His death was not announced until the following day. Vigneault leaves behind three children.
Over the course of a week, the 35-year-old tried to host several streams of 20 hours or longer to raise money for a charitable cause, the “Make-a-Wish” Foundation, which fulfills wishes for terminally ill children.
One of his moderators said that Vigneault had gone for a cigarette break and did not return. It was suspected that he had fallen asleep. Later, attempts were made to reach him via Discord, but instead of Vigneault, a police officer responded. He informed about the streamer’s death.
The cause of death is still unclear. There is no known connection between his death and the marathon streams.
In mid-January, we reported on a popular Destiny streamer who spoke about how difficult it is on Twitch to take enough breaks:
