'He just touched people's lives': Akron-born YouTube star and speaker of many languages dies

Akron Beacon Journal March 19, 2021

Moses McCormick, 39, died of heart complications in Phoenix, Arizona. The North High graduate and self-described polyglot built an audience of over 1 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, Laoshu505000.
