Fans are wondering what happened to Corpse Husband after he seemingly disappeared from the internet, leaving his millions of fans in the dark about what he’s up to.

In the world of streaming and content creation, Corpse Husband is a name that garners distinct recognition. He is celebrated for his uniquely deep voice, death metal tunes, and paradoxically upbeat personality, all of which have significantly influenced the online community.

In 2015, he began narrating horror stories and true crime incidents on YouTube. His deep, distinctive voice had users hooked, and the fact that he never showed his face made his videos all the more intriguing.

However, the internet star has not been active on his social media pages for a while, with his last YouTube video being from November 2021. His Twitch channel was also gutted of all his previous videos at the same time. So what happened to him?

Corpse Husband teases new projects

Why did Corpse Husband stop streaming?

The reason Corpse Husband has stated for his lack of streaming is due to the pressure he felt in entertaining thousands of people on stream.

Corpse opened up about it more while talking to Ironmouse. He revealed that during every stream he would be shaking the whole time, and it got to a point where he said: “…Yeah, I don’t really think I enjoy doing this.”

Instead of stopping streaming completely, he did continue joining in on his friend’s streams and found that he enjoyed that more than hosting his own streams. “I like being on other people’s streams,” he confessed. “I don’t know how the f**k that makes sense.”

Despite saying he would still appear on other people’s streams, he has not made an appearance in quite some time.

Why does Corpse Husband not show his face?

In a 2022 interview with Anthony Padilla, Corpse said:  “A lot of people think it’s like a business thing or a gimmick. I just deeply f**king hate my face, and people’s expectations at this point are ridiculous and unachievable.”

He also stated that much of his hesitancy around his appearance is related to his mental health. 

“I feel like I would be happier in a world where I could be myself openly and not worry about hiding from everybody but I do think it’s also the best decision for me because I don’t think I could handle that many people, like, judging me at once,” the YouTuber shared.

Have other YouTubers seen Corpse’s face?

Several YouTubers have seen Corpse’s face, including Sykkuno, who met him in person, Anthony Padilla, who conducted an in-person interview with him, as well as TinaKitten and Valkyrae.

Sykkuno admitted he felt intimidated by Corpse at first, but he turned out to be a nice person, and they later went out to eat together with TinaKitten. Meanwhile, Valkyrae shared that she secretly met Corpse and gave him her silver brick, which he was obsessed with.

Where is Corpse Husband now?

In February 2023, Corpse shocked fans by posting a 15-second-long video on TikTok where he was promoting a hoodie that he had designed in partnership with Gloomy Bear.

He doesn’t say much about his whereabouts or what he has been up to, but fans seemed happy to get an update from him.

A few months later, Corpse took to X/formerly Twitter to retweet promotional tweets about his newest music project – a collaboration with Bring Me The Horizon.

He also posted three more TikTok videos in 2023 which all included his newest songs, showing that he’s focusing more on his music career.

Close friends and fellow content creators of Corpse Husband, Valkyrae, and Sykkuno, have offered some insights on his absence.

In July 2024, Valkyrae revealed in a stream that Corpse was doing well and was just enjoying a break from the internet.

“We still regularly talk to him,” she revealed. “I think he’s just taking a break from the internet. He’s good, he’s good. Some people just don’t like being online all the time like that. He’s good.”

Valkyrae previously shared in a different stream: “I’ve invited him, but he’s been busy. He’s a very busy man. He told me, ‘Please don’t stop inviting me to things,’ and I was like ‘I promise I will never stop inviting you no matter how many times you reject me’… He is not a streamer you know, he has a lot of other occupations.”

Sykkuno echoed Valkyrae’s statement, mentioning that Corpse has been occupied with various commitments, preventing his participation in their gaes. However, neither of them provided specific details regarding Corpse’s busy schedule, only emphasizing his involvement in other endeavors.

Some of Corpse’s other endeavors include his successful music career as well as his voice acting career. He also recently collaborated with MrBeast, where he designed a Feastables chocolate bar.

Fans believe face leak and chronic illnesses might also be why Corpse Husband disappeared

Corpse’s sudden absence coincided with an alleged “face leak.” The content creator has made genuine efforts to conceal his face from his audience, so when a Twitter user decided to post a photo of someone he alleged was Corpse.

To this day, it is unknown where this photo originated. It has also not been confirmed the photo actually was of Corpse. Nevertheless, since anonymity and privacy were something Corpse valued deeply, this may be one reason he took a step back from creating new content.

Another reason why Corpse Husband was believed to have gone MIA was his chronic illness issues, which include GERD, fibromyalgia, and thoracic outlet syndrome.

After leaving a stream early in 2020, he took to Twitter to inform fans that he wasn’t feeling well, and hadn’t been for some time. “For those of you who don’t know, I’m chronically ill, & have been for years. I’m in pain every single day. It’s something that I constantly try to overcome, but sometimes it just gets too overwhelming,” he wrote.

“I’m all good tho, thank you for everything,” he ended the tweet with.

Despite his long absence, fans are continuing to post daily comments on his social media pages, hoping he is doing well with whatever he’s up to.

One person wrote on Instagram: “Miss you man hope all is well and you’re doing something you love.” Another said: “We miss you man, hope you’re doing good.”

A third person wrote: “Sending good vibes. I hope you’re doing well and are feeling happier, I miss watching you play video games with your friends but it’s nice to know that you still hang out and play with them off stream. Please keep doing whatever makes you feel happy and take care of yourself.”

Corpse isn’t the only internet star who’s taken a break from the internet. YouTube stars David Dobrik and Jenna Marbles are also part of the list of influencers who have seemingly disappeared from the spotlight.
