Fans are worried about YouTuber Rusty Cage who hosted a livestream on Sunday night with his self-made guillotine, during which he wasn't seen again. Some think that Rusty Cage might have decapitated himself.
Both skepticism and concern are brewing over this viral stunt. The clip is trending on Twitter / X right now, generating discourse among internet users from all walks of life. There are a lot of theories floating around right now, so let's try and explain what really happened to Rusty Cage.
Who Is YouTuber Rusty Cage?
Rusty Cage's real name is Benjamin Stuart Steele. He's an American YouTuber and content creator from Gainesville, Florida. In his early career, he's known for creating the "Knife Game Song" which fully popularized the dangerous Knife Game in 2011.
What Was YouTuber Rusty Cage's Guillotine Livestream?
In 2022, Rusty Cage decided to build a guillotine, humorously calling it a "lemonade stand" as a way to swerve YouTube's monetization restrictions. Going into this year, Rusty Cage continued his self-made guillotine videos, culminating in Sunday night's "Guillotine Party LIVE."
Rusty Cage is shown in the livestream sitting in front of his guillotine, simply talking to his viewers about nothing in particular. An hour in, he stops talking and then turns the camera to face the other way. At that moment, a flesh-like cutting sound can be heard. Rusty Cage did not return to the screen.
Is YouTuber Rusty Cage Dead?
In the YouTube comment section of the livestream, many of Rusty Cage's fans are unsure about their favorite creator being dead. Some think that the flesh-like sound was just a watermelon being cut in half (a trope on Rusty Cage's channel). Others are saying that the video is an elaborate promotion for the YouTuber's upcoming album.
Another user on Twitter / X has alleged that they called for a police wellness check on Rusty Cage's home. The user stated that the police found nothing out of the ordinary. The user also stated that an anonymous source close to the YouTuber confirmed his safety.
Although many people are optimistic, others would not put the display of death past Rusty Cage. As of right now, a formal police report has not been filed, so the internet is still brimming with concern.
