Heartbreakingly, not all of Ian Alexander Jr.’s posts to social media shortly before his death were quite as positive. Just five days before his death, Alexander Jr. tweeted about a mental health meme that is now raising questions. “You know that episode of SpongeBob where they go inside his brain and it’s a bunch of mini spongebobs [sic] just losing their s–t…..yea that one really hits home,” he wrote. In another post around the same time, he reflected on the impact social media was having on him. “I don’t think instagram [sic] is healthy for me,” he wrote, (via Page Six).
When examined under the lens of his death, these tweets come across a bit differently. Several fans and followers have replied to posts on Alexander Jr.’s Twitter account to respond to his tweets with heartfelt messages. “Oh, Ian. I woke up to horrible news yesterday,” one user replied. “I am so, so sorry you felt this was your only answer. To your mother, father, and loved ones — my deepest, heartfelt condolences. Father, cover Ian’s family with a blanket of comfort and peace. Be ever so present, Lord. Please.”
