    His sister has created a fundraiser, hoping to raise $80,000 for someone who was a “cherished son, brother, friend, artist.” 

    More than $78,000 has been donated, which is 98% of the GoFundMe’s goal.

    Guerrero’s cause of death has not yet been revealed, but one person on social media claimed he had died from pneumonia after being “abandoned in a foreign country he was in for work” due to being “too sick to fly home.” 

    The next day, on Sunday, February 23, the rest of Guerrero’s family released their own statement on Instagram stories.

    Who is running the go fund me account, surely this is a scam? If he didn't have life insurance and a contingency considering he was likely not paid in peanuts then I'm sorry, it sucks but gofundme is for people that are in true financial distress.

    While he potentially had money, his family (the ones burying him) may not.

    Kylie could fund that funeral with one day's interest off her billions. But probably won't. There is a very small chance this was natural causes at his age. Not unheard of, but really unlikely. Sad for his family.
