I saw this story recently and posted about it here.
Have just seen that the guy has passed away:
A Melbourne schoolboy who found fame online after uploading an emotional goodbye video message revealing he had a terminal heart condition has passed away.Shaun Wilson-Miller, 17, died yesterday afternoon after suffering chronic heart rejection.
The teenager's video titled "My Final Goodbye", in which he revealed his body was rejecting his second heart transplant and that doctors could not perform a third, has been viewed more than 1.5 million times.
Shaun's aunt Susan Miller told ninemsn the family wanted to thank everyone in Australia and around the world for their support.
"We would like to say a big thank you to everybody in Australia who has supported Shaun and been touched by his journey — Shaun wanted everyone to live life to the full and be positive," Ms Miller said.
..........................
One message said: "You showed so much courage for so long,'' said one message. "Fly high sweet angel.''
Previously, Shaun's father Cameron told ninemsn he was extremely proud of his son, who has become an inspiration to many others with health problems (Read more: Dying Melbourne teen films 'final goodbye' ).
Although we never met, he touched me with his story of courage in the face of illness.
