Top 10 YouTubers Who "Died"

When YouTubers gain views and subscribers, they become important, but when YouTubers quit their accounts or die of health problems, they are gone forever.

Here's a list of YouTubers who "died". Death falls into two definitions here, 1, passing away due to any health condition, and 2, quitting something important forever.
The Top Ten
1 Fred Fred Figglehorn is a fictional character created and portrayed by American actor Lucas Cruikshank. He rose to prominence in the early days of YouTube. In 2013, Cruikshank retired the character because he could no longer do the Fred voice. There was also a Fred movie trilogy that lasted from 2010 to 2012.

He was once the biggest YouTuber in existence, he affected YouTube like no other.

He was the first to get a million views and subscribers, yet he made movies and a T.V. show, but then he came out as gay on the actor's channel, and later made the New Fred Saga to tell everyone to move on.

But then since his fans miss him doing Fred so much, especially with the reaction videos, he decided to go back into doing Fred on the gay channel just after Christmas the next year with only a few videos.

Long live.

Played by Lucas Cruikshank, Fred was the first 1M subscribed YouTuber, he had a high pitched voice, and made lots of videos that impressed, but also annoyed, he made movies and T.V. shows, but then later came out as gay on Lucas's channel, and then the next year, made the New Fred Saga to tell everyone he's moved on, but since making the reaction videos, his fans missed Fred so much, that 2 days after Christmas, he brought Fred back, of course on Lucas's channel, and is only going to do it for a while.
Long live.

2 Caleb Logan

Caleb Logan, popular YouTuber, has died at 13, he gained fame as the oldest of 3 siblings, and later died.

Doctors have confirmed the cause of death to be hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which hasn't been diagnosed, and he will be remembered forever.

He was very special. But he will be missed forever.

It's sad that some people die so young.

3 Edd Gould

He was a British animator and artist who was known for being the founder of the media franchise Eddsworld, which focused on an internet flash animation series by the same name, of which he was the primary creator.

He died on March 25, 2012 of a 6 year battle with cancer.

I don't know who this person is. But I found on the internet that he died of Leukemia. :/

Edd Gould was the best animator on the Internet. R.I.P.

4 Yakiwchuk

Born in January 17, 1973, has died in January 30, 2015, his cause of death is unknown, but surely he will be missed, R.I.P.

5 Talia Castellano

Talia was a CoverGirl and Internet star known for her YouTube channel "TaliaJoy18" that featured her unique makeup tutorials.

She inspired millions, and became a CoverGirl artist with the help of Ellen Degeneres.

But then on July 16, 2013, she died of a 6 1/2 year battle with neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer.

Ever since her death, fans have been signing a bucket list to her tribute event, and went on CureSearch for her tribute, we will all miss her forever, a sad day for YouTube.

I'm not a girlie-girl but she will always be a role model of mine.

The idiots who think he's dead. He isn't that popular anymore. That's what they mean by dead. He still has the most subscribers and still posts videos, but overall, he's kinda boring now in my opinion.

Anyone who put it here hasn't seen enough of him, he made rumors about death, they aren't true, he's still alive and working on YouTube now.

He didn't "die", he's still there, and he's still making videos.
He was joking about leaving YouTube, and that really pushed everything hard. that could ruin his reputation.

10 Ray William Johnson Ray William Johnson is an American actor, comedian, producer, director, writer, singer and rapper, who is perhaps best known for his YouTube channel, Ray William Johnson, and his web series on that channel, Equals Three.

Oh man, I used to watch his videos all the time. I went years without watching him, & it didn't really surprise me when I checked back on his YouTube channel & found that it wasn't very active.

At 34 years old, he left YouTube, yet since he's still interested in the Internet, he's been keeping his hands full with all types of projects.

He was so boring!

11 Dax Flame

Dax Flame had a wonderfully bizarre channel going for himself with tons of adoring fans, which is why no one quite understood why he just decided to up and leave YouTube one day. He randomly returned last year, showing off a new book of his and excited to share news of his appearance in 22 Jump Street. After following up with a couple of other videos, he pulled a Houdini and vanished yet again.

12 Angry Grandpa

It felt like he was my grandpa I watch the videos all the time he was so emurcher and silly and weird but that's why I loved and cared about him till the end of his Life.

13 Hannah Minx
14 Monty Oum

He was brilliant and died way before his time. He dropped out of high school and self taught himself how to animate in 3D. His first project was Haloid - an original fan animation that combines the Halo and Metroid series, followed by the Dead Fantasy series - a fan series that combines Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive characters in epic fights. He eventually had to put the series on hold when Rooster Teeth hired him to work on Red VS Blue, a popular web series. Later, he eventually created his own hugely successful original web series, RWBY.

16 Annoying Orange

Um, he's still alive. I find most of these lists to be innacurate, especially the 'Top Ten Worst Kids Shows List' though there are SOME kids shows on it that suck. I saw Total Drama on that list and I'm like-What the heck?! TD isn't EVEN AIMED for kids! It's like, for teens! PG, fellers! Sesame Street I don't care about at all. I apologize if you like Sesame Street, but I personally think those puppets are creepy. Not as creepy as Teletubbies though.

The reason why lists like these are so inaccurate is because ANYONE can edit ANYTHING onto the list.

He is so annoying. What I mean by annoying is his voice... please stop making videos which this non living creature.

17 Ryan Hyga

He still makes videos on YouTube.

18 Christina Grimmie

HOW COULD SHE BE 20TH ON THIS LIST?! She has the voice of an angel, and some crazy fan found out that she had a boyfriend and decided to shoot her at her concert.

Why did he even shoot her? He should have known that she doesn't love him, she's never even heard of him prior to the meet-and-greet!

She was shot on June 10 during a concert, we'll never forget that day.

19 Alex Day

How the hell is Failrace on this list? Please someone tell me how his channel is dead!?
