Speaking to TMZ yesterday, Peterson’s mother said that her son, whose real name was Adam Aguirre, had been staying alone in Portland, Oregon.
She added that Peterson’s partner called her on Saturday to share that he had not been able to reach him in the past few days.
That prompted her to call the Portland Police Department to request a welfare check.

“Had the best birthday with you,” Peterson captioned the carousel of photos from the festival.
Marsh replied in the comments, “[So] excited for many more.”
Following Peterson’s passing, a netizen criticized Marsh, alleging neglect and suggesting he “may have known Peterson was in trouble but chose not to involve the cops.”
Another agreed, writing, “Most of us would call the police if our partner didn’t arrive home from work on time. Something is not right here.”

Taking to his Instagram recently, Heron wrote, “We didn’t know each other deeply, but we shared a birthday, which we often spent at Burning Man (with the same tattoos to prove it!), and bonded over our shared love for ball pythons.”
“Every interaction I had with him was kind and genuine. I always felt a soft spot for him and saw him as a brother spirit walking a similar path.”

“I know life wasn’t always easy for him, and because I saw parts of my own journey reflected in his, I always tried to reach out when I saw him struggling. He was someone with a big heart, a lot of passion, and a depth that not everyone understood,” he added, without revealing the nature of Peterson’s struggles.
