Former Classic Tetris World Champion Jonas Neubauer dies at 38

Jonas Neubauer, the 7-time Classic Tetris World Champion and one of the greatest Tetris players of all time, has passed away from a “sudden medical emergency”.

The news came from Neubauer’s Twitter account:

It’s with a heavy heart that we deliver the terrible news that Jonas has passed away from a sudden medical emergency.
He was the absolute best. We are devastated, overwhelmed with grief, and we already miss him dearly.
Information to follow when it becomes available.

I came to know about Neubauer when I found video for the 2016 Classic Tetris World Championship on YouTube. He was loved by so many in the community and it’s a great loss to his friends and family.

Rest in peace, Jonas.
