== About him ==
When he was 2 years old, he was diagnosed with leukemia, according to his mother in one of his videos. According to his mother's words, she always tried to hide the disease from her son, so that he would not find out about it. When he was 9, he had a transplant. In 2015, after three years without signs of the disease, it returned.

He passed away from leukemia on October 29, 2015, ten days after uploading his last video on YouTube. The news of his death was reported by his mother in the comments of said video, around July 2016.

His channel's content was dedicated exclusively to unboxings, but there were also often sketch videos and occasional vlogs. Currently, Samir's mother manages the channel, and she uploaded the final videos of the channel in 2019.
