Twitch told USA Today it 'moved quickly to remove the channel' of Manuel Otto, the 30-year-old German creator of the browser game Stick Run. Otto died during a livestream on the platform on Tuesday, 20 October. Twitch's statement did not say how long the broadcast stayed live or how many people saw it.
The Stick Run team said in a statement on X that Otto appeared to have ended his life during the stream. The team confirmed his death a day later. Without those details, Twitch's claim to have acted quickly remains untested against its own past cases.
