Oh, I wasn't aware of his passing . . . According to his Wikipedia page #1) He passed away August 11, 2018, just the same day he posted his last video on YouTube (the same as included on his TempleOS home page): ▶ this video His Wikipedia #1) page says the following about his passing: "Investigators could not determine whether his death was suicide or accidental, although the train engineer believed his death to be a suicide. The police report stated that Davis was walking with his back toward the train and that he turned around before the moment of impact". Bless his soul! #1) link

The last place TempleOS's Terry A Davis did a video before he died was outside a library. ▶ this video "I really like this library. So uh, come here use their computer and smoke out here. They must have been freaking out because such an impure person was in their presence."

It saddens me that people are more comfortable watching videos of gore than a person suffering from a mental illness. It saddens me that America lacks mental health awareness. > I can't believe this is real. About 1% of Americans suffer from schizophrenia [0] and for many of those, this video shows what they and their family face on a daily basis. You and the people around you probably don't ever experience what happens in those gore videos, but we are surrounded by people who suffer from schizophrenia and other mental disorders. There is currently no cure for schizophrenia and the best treatment is therapy and antipsychotic medication. If the person who is suffering from schizophrenia decides to pass on the medication and therapy (for reasons related to the disorder or because the side effects are worse than the benefits), it can be difficult to prevent situations like the one in the video of Terry from happening. Imagine you are in a room with 100 other people. It is likely that someone in that room has experienced paranoia or groundless thinking similar to what you saw in the video. Both them and their family have to learn how to deal with the symptoms and often do not get enough support. I encourage everyone to educate themselves on mental health and consider donating to an organization that supports people with mental illness [1]. Terry uploaded a video the day before he died [2] and also removed all of his previously uploaded videos from YouTube. That leads me to believ

@forapurpose2018 · in “Terry Davis has died”

The post linked to by the parent is just an unfounded rumor created by someone on Reddit, with very little basis: I'm going to call it. From his last video(Aug 11th 2018): ▶ this video We see he is at the Dalles county library. ​Later in the evening (Aug 11th, 2018), The Dalles Chronicle reports an unknown man was hit by a train: link

The current theory is he was hit by a train: From his last video(Aug 11th 2018): ▶ this video We see he is at the Dalles county library. ​ Later in the evening (Aug 11th, 2018), The Dalles Chronicle reports an unknown man was hit by a train: link ​ Reports mention Terminal street and either 1st or 2nd street. ​ A map: link Also the Terry Davis facebook page is more than likely not Terry. It appears that the twitter handle "TheTemple" created it and fooled his relatives into accepting the friend requests. The family has no reason to make any of this public, I doubt they realize the extent of his internet following. But "TheTemple" could see their private posts and pictures mentioning Terry's death from the friended "Terry A Davis" facebook account (which he then subsequently memorialized). A video here: link
