Braden Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Source: https://www.vg247.com/2017/02/22/prominent-world-of-tanks-streamer-poshybrid-dies-after-lengthy-stream/ Brian “Poshybrid†Vigneault, a Twitch streamer known for his World of Tanks streams, has died after streaming the game for 22 hours straight. Poshybrid was 22 hours into a stream in which he was collecting money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, when he got up to take a smoke break and never returned. His death didn’t become known until the next day. As Kotaku has reported, detectives from the Virgina Beach police department are investigating the incident. Poshybrid had 7852 subscribers on Twitch, and regularly hosted long streams on little sleep. This is a strong reminder of the importance of employing safe practices if you’re a streamer – try to avoid sleep deprivation, keep hydrated, and don’t be afraid to pull the plug on a stream if necessary. Our thoughts are with his friends, family, and fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Always upsetting to see someone pass at such a young age. Reports don't say he died due to sleep deprivation. It was never confirmed. The fact it wasn't confirmed (as sleep deprivation), tells me it maybe another cause. Regardless, no one should be going without sleep for so long. Condolences to family and friends. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godly Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I doubt he died solely because of the sleep deprivation, however, very sad case especially since he died during a stream that was raising money for a good cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varrock Square Gypsy Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Half of the people who stream are in really bad health condition because they don't go outisde. Should check yourself before you wreck yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koed Beastly Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 My condolances Also Minimum time - in terms of polyphasic sleep - 20 minutes for every 4 hours makes it 2 hours. Biphasic - 6 hours. Monophasic - 6 to 7.5 hours. If you sleep more you're doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
