Sad news shook the internet world. Alex Dragomir, a renowned British YouTuber, died last Thursday, June 10 at the age of 17 after undergoing a complicated heart operation. The young man uploaded to his channel content related to football as he was a great fan of the sport.

If it doesn’t work, then it’s been a wonderful time, my people, thank you for everything you’ve done for me,” he wrote on his networks knowing that the operation could get complicated.

Going in for a life saving procedure if it don’t work then it’s been a great time people thank you for all you’ve done for me but we pray we see it through and we pray we get fatter and fitter after it for them to see progress and not say they can’t do anything after surgery — Sir.
