      Per his Wiki page:
      "During the evening of March 1, 2018, Herrington was involved in a car accident on California State Route 111 in Rancho Mirage. He was found trapped in the wreckage and was brought to a Palm Springs hospital, where he died the next day.[18][9] News broke of his death one day later.[19] Fans responded with hundreds of tributes across video sharing sites and message boards. One tribute video uploaded on Niconico accumulated over 80,000 views in less than one week.[17] Herrington was buried at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cathedral City, California.[20]"
      May he rest in peace.

    This video actually helped me get through a lot of adversity. A year ago, I was 30, lost my job and my girlfriend of four years. Then I had to move back with my parents. Having aspergers didn't make it any easier. Kept applying for job after job, but for jobs that were really easy for people to get into within a few months, it took me about a year of applying. Was extremely depressed and suicidal, thinking I was worthless. Then last week, I finally got a job offer from one of my interviews. Now I'm starting a new career next week at 31. Plan to work a few months to save some money then hopefully move out. Things still aren't 100% OK but it's a good start.

    On July 16 i was struggling to fixing my car light because there no power when connecting them Red to Red and black to black and i tried everything.
    July 17 i was depressed because i couldn't fix the car light. and i was thinking hiring a professional electrician to do it. but it Cost $200. later that night i found this Video this japanese dude telling me not to give up. And it gave me inspiration to fix my car again.
    July 18 I'd fix my car this morning and do some wiring and cutting wires after few hours i finally fix my car light and its working perfectly. I didn't imagined that i could fix it. thanks to this Japanese Dude for telling me not to give up
