GM Daniel Naroditsky, the popular U.S. grandmaster, commentator, creator, educator, and author, unexpectedly passed away on Sunday at the age of only 29.
I read through all the Reddit threads, and there’s only speculation.
All the videos are gone now, but apparently he had been acting a little strange in his recent live streams. You can find comments about it on Reddit even if the video is gone. In short, he seemed off.
There was also some evidence presented that the bullshit accusations levied against him were, unfortunately, really getting to him.
Still hoping it was all just some tragic accident. We’ll probably never know for sure. But it’s a huge loss to the community - gone far too young.
It says so much that every single creator had such wonderful things to say about him. We should all strive to be such a positive force in the world.
No cause yet?
Tragic, no matter the cause. 😞

I have a bad feeling they’re not going to give a cause. Because. Y’know.

GM Bortnyk, who found him, doesn’t know the cause of death yet, so I assume nobody does.
