Comedy Central removes cartoon that depicted Kobe Bryant’s death

NBA legend Kobe Bryant’s tragic end in a helicopter crash left fans and friends in a shock. The legendary popular basketball player’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna was also on board the ill-fated flight. She and seven others lost their life with Bryant.

As the world is coming to terms with the passing of the NFL star, a shocking video from 2016 is going viral on the internet. The video is a small clip from a 2016 animated TV show Legends of Chamberlain Heights. The show had run for two seasons before it was axed. The viral clip titled, End of Days, showcases Kobe dying in a fate similar to reality now.

In the short clip, a helicopter crashes down to the ground. Kobe Bryant crawls out of it. But before he can make it to safety, the chopper explodes, killing him. The episode was aired on November 16, 2016. The makers have deleted the clip.

The official Twitter handle of the show shared, “Out of respect for Kobe and his family we have removed the clip of him and ask that you please don’t share it.”
