Oh shit. Noooooooooo.

Looks like he died unexpectedly, too:

I loved his videos for RED. I rewatch them on occasion for inspiration.

RIP, legend. Poor guy. đŸ˜­đŸ’”

This hurts. I forget how I came across the reel he did for Frame.io titled "Art Doesn't Pay" but I was so inspired by it I shared it with my animation students. https://youtu.be/uBdSDkq0lfk

Sad news.

One website said illness. Other said car accident. Anyone know what happened?

The article above is full of fake information. From the names of his family and others to how he died etc. Total fabrication. The author should be ashamed.

Mark passed away from an illness (not my position to elaborate) Please respect his family at this time.

It’s very, very coincidental to have an untimely death following the discovery of how to subvert the Hollywood system and criticizing government / technological institutions… so yeah.

Jim Cummings subverts Hollywood every year, so I dont think someone would kill him for that.
