Another tweet from his page reads, “Echoing the sentiment of one of my associates, I’m glad it happened live where someone noticed immediately and could get him medical help rather than it happening and him only being found hours later,”
After the troubling live stream, the video was taken down from YouTube but clips have been circulating on different platforms.
