I don't think its suicide its unlikely he wouldn't leave us like that

I have looked at a lot of comments from those who knew him. One said his last words to Daniel were "don't worry about anything". Another mentioned a possible heart attack but there's a implication of suicide, re the other comment.

in his last video he said "Im going to eat and get some rest"

why would he commit suicide?

Lets not speculate. Just remember

Feeling trapped by his popularity is the obvious probability, I'm afraid. RIP

In his last twitch stream he was clearly very upset by allegations Kramnik had made about cheating and spoke about them at length. His behaviour became increasingly erratic during the stream and he was clearly having significant mental health issues - he seemed very stressed and distressed by it. It's still available on-line and it's quite difficult to watch, particularly knowing what happened later. Someone (I presume a family member) off camera actually told him to stop streaming and was clearly concerned about him. I can't say for sure the contents of the stream are related to what happened but it would certainly explain things if they were.

Before his death, Naroditsky had posted a video on YouTube that some viewers found unsettling, leading to speculation about his mental state. That what the news said, really sad man.

Only things we have to go off of are speculation. No official details. It is rumored that a Ukrainian GM found his body (How? Where? We don't know). Erratic Behavior on streams suggesting substance abuse/extremely prevalent mental issues? Unlikely. Though there is yet more rumors of mental health problems in the time before his passing. Ofc Kramnik has to go in and suggest foul play. We really don't have much official info, so let's not jump to conclusions yet.

Probably the allegations made by Kramnik had addled him. I thought it was suicide bcs he had gotten too popular and a chess career doesn't pay off that much.
