KingCobraJFS's father released a video announcing his passing

Joshua Fay Saunders's father released a video on his channel, announcing his son's passing. The video was deleted later. It was reuploaded on X by the user @SlackerBluePod. His father shared that at first he thought his son was sleeping, but then he noticed that Joshua was not walking up and his lips were blue.

He stated that the cause of KingCobraJFS's death is unclear. However, he was informed that it could be organ failure related to his appendix or liver. Saunders' father shared that the YouTuber heavily depended on alcohol as he was suicidal for most of his life.

KingCobraJFS was bullied from the age of three, and this year, his best friend passed away, along with Ozzy Osbourne, the musician he looked up to. The YouTuber's father shared that these deaths affected his son a lot.

"As you all know, Josh was harassed and bullied terribly his whole life. From the time he was three, it was just nonstop. As if he had a neon sign that said 'Please pick on me.' And for some reason, so many people on this earth felt that picking on him was okay, that just because it was him, it made it alright, and that he didn't matter. But he did matter," the YouTuber's father stated.
