"Was this a coincidentally video or was he expecting that he won't be back soon, the fact, nothing was said on how he died is very disturbing."

@Sirfreshsemi commented:

"He became more good looking and calm what exactly went wrong? With my observation I think it's about fast life. Younger generation needs to take things slow, no reward for fast life."
