Emerson Bear Prevost (September 14, 1982 - August 6, 2017 [aged 34]), better known online as Emer Prevost and He11sing920, was an American YouTuber and film critic who created his first channel back in 2006, a channel where he reviewed retro games, until his account was suspended in 2007, before returning in 2008, where he made videos here and there, mostly rants, up until 2011, when he started his series Reaction & Review, which is what he became known for; a show where he watched a movie, and reacted to it, afterwards reviewed it. In his final years he dabbled into other types of videos, such as Let's Plays, What's in the Box, a weekly Q&A Livestream, a trading card game series, Longbox Chronicles (a comic book review series), and even, to a much lesser extent, Game Reviews, but R&R was his primary and most viewed series on his channel; he stopped ranting several years ago, due to him, and many others, believing that they were terrible, but there were still many of his fans who wished for him to bring his rants back, which he refused to do. Emer was known for being a very opinionated and outspoken individual, who didn't sugarcoat harsh criticisms for movies, and was willing to state exactly what he felt about any matter during his weekly streams, regardless of what others thought about it.
Death
Around 1:00am on August 7, 2017, Prevost died at his father's home in Green Bay, Wisconsin at the age of 34. He openly disclosed in a stream on July 15 that he had been suffering from a hernia, and mentioned on July 27, in his final stream, that he was to undergo surgery to remove the hernia. However, complications from it claimed his life on August 6. This news was revealed by his brother Martin Prevost on Facebook the same day, which caused an outpour of tributes from fans and friends alike, including Clay Claymore, RandomDCE, and even former friends such as Asalieri.
