So what happens if a long-time or popular YouTube personality dies? Unless they're Fred (Lucas Cruikshank not Crenshaw), there's unlikely to be a big RIP obituary reel ready for a news story. So what would happen. I know we've lost a few people (most recently Messy Mya and once theboringdispatcher), but how would people learn if you or I died, or Pipistrello, Geriatric1901, Zipster08 or Themightythor1212?
Via the YouTube community? It's not like YouTube would park an obits page... Morbid I know. But Pipi started it...

I found out he was in the neighborhood (he lives in Puerto Rico now) on FourSquare tonight so I begged him to come for a visit.
