Last week we featured the tragic news about the death of UK Youtuber Emily Hartridge, today it has been announced that US Youtube creator Grant Thompson, aka The King of Random has been found dead after he went missing.
The 38 year old had gone paragliding in Utah and was recently found by a search party. Thompson proved a very popular figure on Youtube with over 11 million subscribers and nearly 2.5 billion views. Unlike many Youtube stars, he wasn't really involved in controversy or politics but instead gave out consistently interesting content.
In fact, you could say that he was very influential to the platform in regards to shaping its current creators content, as he was one of the first originators to do experimental videos, something which has been a popular craze on the site for years now. Looking back at his channel for instance, his first experiment video was making a DIY flashlight some 8 years ago - and since then he has done many more unusual videos which ooze creativity and keep fans entertained.
Rest in peace King of Random
