I’ll never forget the day a man tried to kill me while I was livestreaming in Rhode Island. I was coffinboarding along the Blackstone River when I encountered a man who began threatening my life. He told me, “Your ass is canal water,” and “You’re already dead.” He repeatedly demanded that I turn off my camera so he could kill me and throw my body into the canal. I genuinely believed I was going to die that day. I ended up escaping approximately six miles straight to get away from him. Eventually, I made it back to my car, drove out of Rhode Island, and haven’t returned to the state since. What makes this story even more disturbing is that under two months earlier, another man had been found dead in the river at the exact same location where this man threatened to kill me and throw my body. Detectives are still investigating that man’s death, trying to determine exactly what happened to him. I was recently on the Rhode Island Channel 10 news for this. I don’t know whether the two incidents are connected, and I’m not claiming they are. But knowing someone had been found dead in the same place where my life was threatened is something I’ll never forget. I’m incredibly grateful that I managed to escape that day, because there’s a very real possibility I wouldn’t be here telling this story if I hadn’t. I haven’t talked about the situation much since, but saw it is going viral here on X, but that the full clip wasn’t shown. Also, the full livestream is available on my Twitch (wenevergetyounger) or YouTube: youtube.com/@henryposton?si=… This incident happened at the end of a 2.5 hour livestream. Life is a gift, and I’m grateful I got another chance to experience it.
