If there werent enough conspiracies going around this could rustle some jimmies… > > The body of a man found dead on Hayes Road in Carnesville, Georgia, was identified by law enforcement officials as belonging to 32-year-old Keith Ratliff, the weapons manager of YouTube’s third most popular channel, [FPSRussia](http://www.youtube.com/user/FPSRussia). > FPSRussia team member Kitty Wandel [confirmed the news on Twitter](http://www.twitlonger.com/show/kkue1m), saying Ratliff, a “firearms marketing consultant” from Kentucky, was involved in “everything from pulling pranks to finding almost impossible weapons to use in videos.” > The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said Ratliff appears to have died of a single gunshot to the head, and it was [treating his death as a homicide](http://www.ajc.com/news/news/local/operator-of-popular-youtube-channel-found-shot-to-/nTqHY/). Investigators also noted that several firearms [were found in the vicinity of the body](http://www.921wlhr.com/body-found-in-carnesville-identified-2/), and it seems he had been deceased for some time before officials were alerted by a 911 call to his whereabouts. > In addition to his involvement with FPSRussia, Ratliff also owned a company called FPS Industries, which specialized in “custom weaponry and weapon technologies.” Per [its Facebook page](http://www.facebook.com/pages/FPS-Industries/298018816954595), FPS Industries is located on Hayes Road.

One more pound of weight for the lefties. He either pissed someone off or it was some covert CIA conspiracy involving Area 51. Cut the source of guns from a popular YouTube channel and eliminate the problem. ---

Although entertaining, it’d be nice if FPSRussia practiced more firearm safety for the sake of all the people watching his vids. Sucks about manager though. Prolly a drug cartel wanted his weapons. ---
