"She tried to push her way in, but something was blocking the door. Worried, Teresa called her other sons, and one, Daniel, came right over, she recounted. He pushed his way into the bedroom to find his brother kneeling on the floor next to the bed as if in prayer, his head resting against the mattress and his palm curled tightly around his phone, which was still livestreaming, he told El Periodico."
"A nearly empty whisky bottle, two energy drink cans and a small pile of cocaine atop a strip of red paper sat on a table nearby. Viewers' voices could be heard from the phone, according to Daniel, with them asking: Are you sleeping off your hangover yet Sergio? Haven't you finished your bottle of whisky? Jimenez was allegedly emulating streamer Simon Perez, a fallen real estate developer who now earns his money by using drugs in front of paying live audiences on various platforms,"
Sergio Jimenez, 37, died during a livestreamed challenge in which he had pledged to consume six grams of cocaine and a bottle of whisky within three hours. He lived with his mother in Vilanova i la Geltru near Barcelona, who found the door ajar and alerted his brothers. One brother found Jimenez kneeling by the bed, stiff and cold, clutching his phone which was still livestreaming. A nearly empty whisky bottle, energy drink cans and a small pile of cocaine were nearby, and viewers could be heard on the stream. Jimenez streamed as Sancho/Sssanchopanza on Kick and Twitch and had struggled with mental illness and addiction. Catalan police are investigating.
