According to past tweets from the account, ‘CenturionLewis’ suffered from cancer.

On March 17, a post read: “My cancer has not reduced but has started to spread around my body, I had emergency radiotherapy treatment and went home and then had multiple severe seizures and now admitted into hospital, potentially surgery to come.”

It appears that before the person died, they managed to fulfil a dream of going to an F1 event with the Mercedes team over the weekend.

Hundreds of tributes poured in following the news.

“Oh no, I’m truly sorry to hear. He was lively just tweeting a few day ago. My condolences to you and his family,” one person wrote.
