As reported by PVP Live, World of Tanks streamer Brian 'PoShYbRiD' Vigneault has died after a 24 hour stream, with the following statement being posted on PoShYbRiD's Twitch chat:
"Known info so far: Around 3:30AM CST Poshy said he was going for smokes and left the stream running, He never returned. around 11AM CST we were all still here assuming he had fallen asleep. around 19:00 Sorelor sees him online in discord and messages him. The person who responded identified himself as a detective and asked Sore to call him. Sore spoke with him, Called the Virginia Beach police department to confirm the detectives identity. The detective confirmed Brian had passed."
This was also confirmed by his gaming clan FAME via Facebook, where they said: "We just can not find words to describe how sad is this moment for all of us and for sure this game will not be the same without the legend. Maybe the saddest lines can not really be written, and the saddest thoughts can not really be uttered, let's all hope that he is in a better place right now and may his soul Rest in Peace, he will never be forgotten... a person who stays in our hears never dies."
The World of Tanks Reddit has come together to express their grief at the loss, as has PoShYbRiD's Twitch page.
