First of all. RIP.

Second of all, I've noticed #RIPDaleCarlier trending worldwide on twitter, but everyone who I've spoke too are unsure who he is and what happened, could anybody tell me the situation please?

I'm not sure, but from what I gather from twitter and different tweets, he was a young man from Essex, I think he tragically died in a car accident. This is what I have taken away from certain tweets, but I may well be wrong.
