Tomiii 11’s Death Leaves Family Devastated — Uncle Says His Parents Are Undone

Chilean YouTuber Tomás Blanch, mostly known for his YouTube moniker Tomiii 11, died on August 30, 2021, at 9 in the morning.

Moments after the devastating hour, his father, Vicente Blanch, opened up to Chilean outlet BioBioChile, disclosing the 12-year-old took his last breath in the company of his family, including mother Carolina and sister Sofia. 

He also expressed his grief and stated that his "greatest achievement" was gone. 

While the grieving father didn't elaborate on the cause of death, it is clear that the young YouTuber succumbed to a degenerative brain tumor he was battling for years. 

The untreatable tumor had severely affected his eyes and extremities, preventing him from normally seeing, speaking, and moving his limbs. And his condition was reportedly getting worse every day.

After his heartbreaking demise, Blanch's uncle Alejandro Blanch shared his grief with Meganoticias. The uncle disclosed that Tomiii's death hurt his parents the most, stating that the family was dismayed by the ordeal. 

In his own words, his brother and his sister-in-law's whole world had come undone, and the entire experience was kind of sweet and sour. 

His uncle recounted how he wanted to share his daily life with the world and make his story heard. He shared his nephew loved making videos of horses, cats, and his real-life on his YouTube channel. 

After walking down memory lane, Alejandro shared that the family will organize his funeral on September 1, 2021, in his native commune in Rengo.
