YouTube star Corey La Barrie died in a car crash Sunday, leaving fans in shock and mourning. As they tried to make sense of his passing, many looked back at La Barrie’s tweet following the death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant back in January. Many thought that the two shocking crashes shared some similarities.
La Barrie was a passenger in a deadly car crash on Sunday night, according to a report by CNN. He was in the passenger seat while Daniel Joseph Silva โ one of the stars of Ink Masters โ lost control of the vehicle. Police have arrested Silva on charges of driving under the influence and murder in connection with La Barrie’s death. The crash has many people looking back on another unexpected and seemingly unthinkable celebrity death this year.
