: I thought he died at the AM/PM in Grants Pass Oregon about two years ago, across from the Taco Bell, by the Walmart. It must have been someone who looked him that died there that day. It's hard to keep track of all the people who are killed at the AM/PM across from Taco Bell.

Noooooooooo 😭😭😭

Oh. RIP. 😪
