[@susana01992]

[@LollyWasabi_]

I sadly predict his death was a suicide because of how his friends described him as always happy and joyful and how he put others first .. I just hope where ever his spirit is that he’s ok and pain free . Rest easy Jahmil French ... 🙏🏾🕊🤍

[@americano1976]

How does that have anything to do w suicide? If he put others first and was joyful..

Never heard of him and never seen this show. But R.I.P anyways

[@dakotail]

same here /////

[@leequanl.-scott6238]

The show was a little more popular in Canada, cause it was about Canadian teens. It was a little more edgy than a few American teen shows. I was able to watch a few episodes of it. Partly, cause I am one of those few American 30 years olds, who took time to see a bit about what Canada had to offer. Some folks my age, were a bit more into watching older actors, but I was even curious about some actors, a bit younger than me. Ciao.

[@adu1991]

It was mainly a Canadian TV show, but they also aired it on "TeenNick" in the U.S. Famous rapper "Drake" got his start on this show.
