Four days before his death, Cooper announced that he was starting a platform to discuss addiction and mental health issues by launching a server on Discord.
His future goal was to open a rehab and help anyone who was struggling with addiction.
In addition, Noriega was also in plan to launch a fashion line called “The 28 Club,” with a motto of “hope instead of fear.”
Most of his followers and close friends have speculated the cause of his death was an overdose.
Since he was a long-time addict and recently been sober, Cooper may have relapsed.
Some fans have even gone on to accuse his friends of not being there for him when he needed them the most.
Nonetheless, we cannot make assumptions just by basing on the past.
Wherever he is, may his soul rest in peace!
