What Happened To Thick44? NeebsGaming YouTuber Schnur’s Cause Of Death Revealed

Tony ‘Thick44’ Schnur has sadly passed away following a two-year battle with Glioblastoma at the age of 47.

Thick44 was best known for his prowess in shooter games such as Battlefield, as well as horror survival games like 7 Days to Die.

The creator first revealed his cancer diagnosis in June 2022, informing fans that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor that would need surgical removal. That surgery appeared to be successful, but Schnur shared that his cancer had returned in late 2022, requiring a second surgery and radiation therapy.

Fans believed that Schnur was recovering well following said surgery, with him participating in several of NeebsGaming’s recent videos. However, a recent tweet from NeebsGaming has confirmed that Thick44 has passed away at age 47.
