Twitch Streamer Komanche, Known for Minecraft Events, Found Dead at 30
The popular streamer, who had over 1.7 million followers, was found days after sharing a somber social media post.
Carlos Mauricio Gómez, a prominent Twitch streamer known online as Komanche, was found dead in his Monterrey, Mexico, home on Sunday. He was 30 years old. His manager, Byron Reyes, confirmed the death on Monday, issuing a statement that condemned online harassment.
Komanche, who amassed over 1.7 million followers, was known for his online skits and for co-creating the "Squid Craft Games," a popular Minecraft event inspired by the Netflix series "Squid Game." Police were alerted after neighbors noticed his rental home's door ajar. Investigators found no signs of violence at the scene, leading them to suspect suicide, according to reports from El Pais and Infobae.
In the days leading up to his death, Komanche had shared a troubling post on X, formerly Twitter, which has since been viewed nearly 10 million times. "The days just don’t get any better," he wrote. This followed a period of public struggles with his mental health.
In an October 2023 video, Komanche spoke candidly about battling depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. He disclosed having previously attempted suicide three times, stating, "I should have sought help and I didn’t."
The streamer's career was not without controversy. In November 2025, Twitch temporarily suspended Komanche following an altercation with another streamer during the Squidcraft Games 4 event. In January, he announced he was leaving the platform due to unspecified issues with other users. Weeks before his death, Komanche also faced accusations of harassment from female streamers, according to Infobae.
