Not familiar with his work, but I am familiar with this sort of tragedy. It's really sad when this happens. I hope his wife is ok.

"Let's Play" have lost a great man today
I was going to post my “MyBuys” blog but recent tragic news has just broke today about the tragic suicide of Justin Carmical, known by many as “Jew Wario”. He’s best known for his “You Can Play This” video series that shined a spotlight on his love for import titles. Among the many of the “Let’s Play” creators out there he rose to popularity along with being remembered during his time with Channel Awesome. He starred in various cross-overs with other online personalities from Channel Awesome along with his continued works after parting ways with them. He’s contributed to various projects from Play Proceeds Clockwise, Spine Breakers, The Gaming Pipeline, Yanki J Plays, Stuck In Your Head and J-Dub Reviews.
I remember watching his work from time to time given my budding interest in import titles. I almost even donated a game for him to review. But for me the best I’ll remember him by was with this “Let’s Play” of Fatal Frame II a few Halloweens back.
Though details are scare it’s reported that his wife was in the house with him when his passing took place Thursday January 23rd.
It’s a real tragedy to all in the gaming community to lose someone as interesting and special as Justin was when it came to games and community at large. Hearing of this news even took me back when I learned of it from Noah “Spoony” Antwiler and Lewis Jeffery Lovhaug’s twitter feeds.
May Justin Carmical rest in peace. Thank you for all you’ve done. You shall be missed.
Justin Carmical
April 11th 1971 – January 23rd 2014
