It has been noted by Volt Magazin that by perhaps by a strange coincidence Western foreshadowed his own death by making a new year’s Facebook post stating:

“I want to make 2019 count. Should not say that though. That’s the kind of thing you say and then the and then people get chills when they read your comment later. “

RIP my friend and partner <3 pic.twitter.com/xTSmwgIE3N
