In January of this year, Technoblade revealed to fans he had been diagnosed with cancer.



His father read his goodbye message hours before his death. It began with "Hello everyone, Technoblade here." If you're watching this. I am dead."



He went on to reveal that his real name was in fact Alex recalling the time he had pranked viewers into believing that his name was Dave.



He said, "Thank you all so much for your support for my work over the years," he added. "If I had another hundred years of years to live, I believe Technoblade would be my top choice again. Those were the best years of my entire life."



The online star, who won Minecraft tournaments, and had legions of fans talking about his funny antics while playing the game, explained in a February video of a fundraising campaign that he received radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and a limb rescue operation after developing a painful tumor.



He died from sarcoma, which is an uncommon bone and soft tissue cancer.
