So tragic. The Seattle hip hop artist, 22, allegedly took his own life by shooting himself in the head after a series of tweets in which he revealed his extreme depression and heartbreak.

Frederick Eugene Buhl, aka Freddy E, was found dead on Jan. 5 after apparently committing suicide. The Seattle rapper, 22, was best known for his YouTube webisode program, titled Jerk TV, which mostly featured comedy segments and some original rap songs.

Freddy E allegedly killed himself after a series of tweets in which he said he suffered an extreme “heartbreak” — and then threatened to shoot himself in the head.

“If there’s a God then He’s calling me back home. This barrel never felt so good next to my dome. It’s cold & I’d rather die than live alone,” he tweeted on Jan. 5.

“It’s… all… bad… y’all. *puts finger around trigger*” he tweeted a little later, and then added. “I love you mom. I love you Dad. I love you Katherine. God… please forgive me. I’m sorry,” he wrote in a series of tweets.

Freddy E’s Family Speaks Out On The Rapper’s Death

Freddy’s dad, Frederick Douglass Buhl, revealed his family’s despair on his personal Facebook page.

“Our family is saddened beyond words; our loss is great; this tragedy is enormous and unforseen,” he wrote on his Facebook page on Jan. 5.

“Not only our family, but the world has lost a talented, sensitive, brilliant young man who lit up our existence with his. We love him a great deal, and he will be sorely missed. We pray that God will now watch over him, and we ask all of you to include Frederick and our entire family in your thoughts and prayers.”

So sad. Our thoughts are with Freddy’s family during his difficult time.

Learn how to spell, and people might actually consider your point.

He was holding the gun with 1 hand and hold on the other hand over his mouth so who in the hell took the picture

It’s called a webcam… They have timers

its called 3-10 second snapshot?

I don’t believe he killed his self.I think he faked his death to get out of the media.this is more like a rumor to me.They have not even verified that he did this.His parents verifying it.But the news has not verify he is died.U think about it.He said he was gonna close his Twitter account.but he never did it.So rather close the account.he choose to fake his death.

omg ! I swear i was thinking the same thing.. It hasnt been on the news Freddy E would use this as a lesson learn video idk if hes tryna make people see that they dont have to kill themselves over stupid stuff i never took him to be the type to kill himself he just turned 22 he always thanks god everyday on his tweets i think the family and friends are really going along with it. Im not gonna believe hes gone until i see funeral pics and proof on the news i dont wanna believe this anyway. im just waiting for him to make a video saying DID YALL REALLY THINK I WOULD KILL MYSELF OVER A FEMALE…smh i deleted my twitter because of this.. Rip Freddy E.. just incase

I totally agree! until i see funeral pics…i will NOT believe he is dead. i just won’t believe it. he can’t be gone!!!..the news is too shocking.!

Thats EXACTLY What I Think .

I was thinking the same thing!

maybe someone hacked his account or he had took those mesg way too seriously from twitter by other people. Rip Fred

Are they sure it was a suicide? Anybody can tweet from an account. If someone was to take my phone and tweet from it, people would never know it wasn’t me. One could even tweet from any other electronic devices that don’t belong to the victim in question, so long as you know how to access that person’s account. Just because Freddy E was supposedly tweeting about killing himself and then he was found dead does not mean we should automatically rule it a suicide. You never know, it could be a homicide…let’s let the forensics handle their business and then make judgment on this tragedy.
