Who Was Komanche?

Komanche was a Salvadoran content creator who grew his audience through gaming streams, online videos and collaborations with other Spanish-speaking creators. 

His biggest project was the Squid Craft Games, a Minecraft competition inspired by Netflix's Squid Game. He organised it with creators including AuronPlay and elRubius, and it pulled in well-known streamers from Spain and Latin America.

Tributes came in from fellow creators after the news, AuronPlay among them. He said they had talked just four days earlier. Writing to his friend, he said: “You can't imagine how much I'm going to miss you and the emptiness you leave in me.” He also said Komanche was loved by many people.

Komanche Had Spoken About Mental Health Before His Final Post on X

Komanche had already talked about his mental health in public, in a YouTube video published in October 2023. He spoke about his struggles and asked viewers to take mental illness seriously, saying, “suicide and mental illness aren't cringe-worthy, they're serious.”

His manager, Byron Reyes, addressed the online criticism Komanche had experienced in his tribute, urging people to think about the impact their words can have on others.

In a tribute he wrote, “On the internet, we ALL think we have the right to point fingers or criticize others without even knowing them or how much those words can affect someone.” 

He also asked people to be more mindful of what they post online, ending his tribute with a personal message to his friend: “Fly high, my Komanche.”

On the cause of death, some outlets cited a suspected suicide. But the reports available at publication hadn't officially established it. The final post on X went up on October 19.
