Paul Harrell, who had over 1 million YouTube subscribers for his reviews of firearms, shared a YouTube video in September 2024 titled “I’m Dead” following his death from pancreatic cancer.
“Hi everyone,” Paul said in the video, which he said he recorded in December 2023. “If you’re watching me, I’m dead.”
Paul noted in his video that while he thought he had caught his cancer early, it began to spread rapidly to his bones, and it became apparent to him that his time “is drawing very short.”
“To everyone who has watched, hit the like or dislike icon, commented, shared, subscribed and donated on Patreon,” Paul continued, “Thank you.”
As he put it, “I can’t even begin to articulate how beneficial and appreciated those things are.”
The 58-year-old also went on to apologize to his fanbase for his unexpected departure from the world.
“I had hoped that I would continue in this format for the next 10 or even 15 years,” he admitted, noting that his diagnosis took his life in just a few short months. “My apologies for that, it really feels like I’ve let everybody down.”
