Grant Thompson, a popular YouTube creator known for his channel, King of Random, died earlier this week after a paragliding accident in Utah.
A Facebook post from Utah's Washington County Sheriff's Department explains that "report of an overdue paraglider" was received on Monday, and on Tuesday, after GPS location was obtained from Thompson's cell phone, his body was located.
The 38-year-old YouTube star, who joined the platform in 2010, was known for creating unique and daring videos. He specialized in conducting dangerous science experiments and sharing innovative life advice, and made videos about everything from summer life hacks to setting gummy bears on fire with molten salt.

We invite you to share your thoughts for Grant and the channel in the comments. Please do a random act of love or kindness today in honor of The King of Random.
