      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.
