One of the fans wrote: “Tbh goonew deserved way better in my opinion, long live him tho.”

“This is so wild and disrespectful. Some must not understand how death work. The soul is no longer in the body. So the body is literally just a corpse. This is so pointless but to each its own. I hope he rests in peace bc THIS isn’t peace.” wrote another fan.
