Komanche’s final post before death
In the days before he died, Gómez posted a quiet but striking message on X, formerly Twitter. Written in Spanish, it read,
“Los días simplemente no mejoran” — “The days simply don’t get better.” The post has since resurfaced online, with followers reflecting on its weight in hindsight.
Gómez had been open about his mental health in the past, sharing diagnoses of bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.
It has not been established, however, that these conditions were directly connected to his death.

Within the Spanish-speaking gaming community, Gómez had established himself as a major creative force.
He amassed nearly 1.7 million followers on Twitch and close to one million on Instagram, drawing in audiences through his engaging personality and collaborative spirit.
He was particularly celebrated for co-organising the Squid Craft Games, a Minecraft tournament that gathered some of the biggest names in online content creation.
His work alongside prominent streamers AuronPlay and El Rubius cemented his place as a key figure in the space.
His death has prompted an outpouring of grief from fans and fellow creators across the gaming world, all mourning the loss of a personality who helped shape online entertainment for millions of Spanish speakers globally.
