Well that sucked, when I started reading the title I got excited thinking it was an interview or something, RIP.

" Residence of Evil" did a playthrough of RE2 with him, seems like he was a great guy:

Resident Evil 2 was my first game then had the chance to play the rest. Just recently platinumed Resident Evil 3 Remake. Rest in Piece Paul.

"Don't shoot I'm human"!!!!!!

Japanese voice actor of Axle from Kingdom Hearts and Reno from FFVII Remake also passed away. Wtf?
Sad news.

[BigBosss]

Can a mod or an admin change title from dead to Passed Away please. Thank you.

[LOGICWINS]

....why?

[UnSelf]

He believes words somehow changes facts

[BigBosss]

I just thought saying he is dead wasn't nice so wanted go change it to passed on to sound more respectful :/

[generic-user-name]

Passed on implies religion, he might not have been religious.

[AnubisG]

Yeah, let's censor things we "feel" are not respectful huh?

There is nothing wrong or disrespectful in saying that he is dead. It's a fact and it wasn't said in any demeaning way at all.

[LOGICWINS]

Rest in Peace Paul

[Gatsu]

Rest in peace legend <(T_T)>....

[Dwarrior]

Damn throat cancer.

[MADGameR]

He had a problem with his throat. That's why he died. Probably was throat cancer.

[Ichidono77]

He had stage 3 throat cancer.

[jBlakeeper]

The Resident Evil franchise will always be special to me. Especially the original games. RIP Paul.

[Ichidono77]

Sad news indeed, OG Re 2 was the very first video game I ever played, and I have fond memories of playing that game for hours and hours. Rest in peace Paul, you will be missed.

[MetroidFREAK21]

R.I.P... thanks for the memories

[myfathersbastard]

He was only 56. Damn. Rip to my favorite RE character actor as a kid. He made Leon awesome.

[Tross]

Aw man. This has been a terrible year for deaths. RIP.

[strayanalog]

I know what I'm playing tonight.

[Noskypeno]

I didnt know cancer still exists in 2020. I thought we eliminated those along with heart attacks and old age, atleast according to the media.

[VileBrute]

Rip ;(

[Knightofelemia]

Damn second voice actor gone this year

[Atomicjuicer]

:( RIP

[PaleMoonDeath]

Ada, Wait! always will be my Leon, damned sin :(

[XxINFERNUSxX]

It said cause of death unknown. But on Wiki: "Haddad stated on a YouTube live stream that he suffered from stage three throat cancer and had a tumor growing on one of his vocal chords, however the tumor was removed, altering his voice in the process. " The cancer could have just resurfaced again.

This is just terrible :(

[AK91]

Damn another one? and he also died so young today is a sad day indeed, RIP Mr Haddad your performance as Leon was one of my fav gaming performances.

COVID 19 Strikes again

[BlaqMagiq1]

It wasn't Covid it was throat cancer.

[SegaSaturn669]

Same thing.

[BlaqMagiq1]

Ummm... Covid and throat cancer is not the same thing. Lmfao what?

[chicken_in_the_corn]

How are covid and cancer the same?

[ghostrider32]

2020 is the worst year ever.

[BlaqMagiq1]

R.I.P. to him. A memorable role he played.

[TheHateTheyGive]

RIP.
