Game Developer Commits Suicide by Self-Immolation on Livestream
Breitbrunn am Chiemsee, Upper Bavaria, Germany Manuel Otto, a 30-year-old who was best known for creating the mobile jump-and-run game "Stick Run", which launched in 2010, ended his life by committing self-immolation whilst on a Twitch livestream. In his Discord server, Manuel had said in March this year that he was suffering from metastatic cancer. Upper Bavaria South police confirmed that a fire had broken out in an attic apartment in Breitbrunn am Chiemsee, killing a 30-year-old man and causing property damage estimated in the mid-five-figure euro range. A fellow resident of the apartment had largely extinguished the fire by the time firefighters arrived. |

From comments I have seen, it seems earlier in the stream, while dressed as a woman, he hit himself and tied himself to the couch before the self-immolation. Screenshots purportedly from the stream (note what appears to be a lighter on his leg): |

Well done, not medium. There’s something to be admired here. That guy had balls of steel. He didn’t thrash around at all. He ended himself in a ball of fire. Pretty hardcore |

What a way to go. He chose a blazing and painful death over dozing off to eternal sleep in a hospital bed.

Incel perhaps. Scrawny nerd who couldn't get laid and it ruined his mental health.
