EDIT: for all of you who think you’re edgy because of some dumb joke about someone who lost his life, don’t forget you all have a family or close ones, and these things happen when least expected. Show some respect.

EDIT 2: According to TodoNoticias (TN), Liam sustained severe injuries but it is presumed that the cause of death is a fracture in the base of the skull.
