An update three days ago reported him as being in “a really critical situation” on life support, as his family prayed for his recovery.

Other clips include him in his signature vest yelling about Indian cricket, loudly praising films, and going on a tirade about the price of popcorn in the cinema.
Thousands of people paid tribute on his YouTube page with one saying: “Please don’t delete this channel, we want to see his videos and remember him for the joy he brought to our faces every time with his humour.”
Another commented: “This is deeply saddening. Life is so uncertain. Let’s all be humble and spread love. His rants will always be missed.”
Many simply wrote the Hindi phrase “Om shanti”, wishing for his “eternal peace”.
