The star of Czech twitter has died. The men were confused with Mayor Kolář

Well-known twitter user Ondřej Kolář succumbed to cancer on Tuesday. Pavlína’s wife told his fans on the social network. “Ondra left for the other bank at 5 pm today. Calm down, I held his hand,” she wrote, with the people sharing the sad news.

Kolář impressed his followers with his openness about the fight against cancer. He often wrote about insidious diseases and without any embellishments. “Today I’m starting the last, sixth chemotherapy. So far, I’ve managed it all, quite well at home, but the worst is in the hospital. My body and soul are really getting busy,” he wrote in early May.

Attention was also paid to him due to the coincidence of names with the mayor of Prague 6, who in the spring had the statue of Soviet Marshal Konev removed from Interbrigade Square in his part of the city (more here). The politician also figured in the case of a Russian agent with ricin as one of the possible victims. The Secret Service eventually found that this was misinformation (read details here).

Because of this, Twitter Kolář faced a number of verbal attacks and unpleasant questions. “I am not the mayor of Prague 6,” he wrote on the profile, for sure also in Russian, English and German.

The Czech twitter community mourns for the deceased Kolář. “A lot of strength for the whole family is astonishing how sad I am, even though I only knew him from twitter,” Helena said. “Exactly. But some people make a big impression, even if we know them briefly. I’m so sorry,” Darina agreed grievously.

“I’ve always been fascinated by his optimism and insight. Let’s remember him whenever we whine for stupidity. Let’s take his departure as a message to all of us that even because of the worst events we can stand proud and confront,” Filip wrote.

Kolář’s wife has not yet stated whether friends from social networks will also be able to say goodbye to her husband, or the funeral will take place only in the family circle.
