Popular YouTuber PewDiePie and his fans are mourning the possible death of a fellow YouTuber who "successfully trolled" PewDiePie's audience for years.

Friends of Dillon Henderson, who went by Dillon the Hacker on YouTube, have posted on Twitter saying Henderson died in July. Details are scarce, and Business Insider has not been able to confirm the YouTuber's death. The 20-year-old, whose YouTube channel has 137,000 subscribers, gained a following by posting emotional and satirical videos about popular YouTube gamers.

Among Henderson's videos were at least two dozen videos roasting PewDiePie, some of which have more than 1 million views. Henderson went on long rants about how he had taken over PewDiePie's channel, become his social media manager, and even stolen PewDiePie's then-girlfriend, now-wife, Marzia.

These videos caught the attention of PewDiePie himself, who dedicated an entire video on his channel in 2016 to reacting to Dillon the Hacker's content.

Soon after PewDiePie posted his tweet, "RIP Dillon" was trending on Twitter as some of the YouTuber's massive fanbase mourned Henderson's death as well.
