At about 8 AM, my friend Liam rang my mobile and said "Edd from Eddsworld is dead". I didn't believe him - until I checked the Eddsworld YouTube channel.

Yes, on Sunday, the 25th of March 2012, Edd Gould, the animator/creator/voice actor of the popular YouTube/Newgrounds series "Eddsworld" passed away at the age of 23. He has been battling cancer (leukemia) for about 6 years. As Tom and Matt stated in the video, Edd had no idea that his battle would end. So he left without giving anyone any fear.

I'm very sad that he has passed away - we all are. Edd made me and my friend Liam's childhood worth living. I've been watching Eddworld since 2006.
