Hi all.
I'm creating yet another thread about a lost YouTube channel that has boggled my mind for years. When I was reading the (now deleted) Deceased YouTubers page on Wikitubia many years ago, I came across a channel by the name of AussiePrankzTV. The article states that after he made his goodbye video, he later took his own life, and his entire channel was deleted, leaving no reuploads by other channels. Now every single time that I look this username up, nothing really related to his channel comes up, even when I did it just a bit ago.
I have no idea what else to say, other than maybe, just maybe, this thread might bring more light to this channel.

Now YOU can do the dishes!

If you look up youtube.com/user/AussiePrankzTV on the Web Archive, there is indeed a snapshot from July 27, 2015 (in Italian?), which says that the channel does not exist. The Wikitubia page claims he died on May 8, 2015, and that he deleted his channel after a final goodbye video.

There's also a channel with that name on Vidlii, but looking at Web Archives of it, the only captures of it are ones where the channel was suspended. Don't know if the channel could have contained reuploads, but the website itself was not launched until December of 2015, so that could not be the original uploader.

So...it's possible? The only other mention I can really find is a Deleted User on the Discord server from 2018 claiming that his channel is lost media.

IDK. Might itself just be a prank/a wiki editor trolling, but even if it isn't, this channel doesn't seem that notable, and...given the backstory, maybe you aren't getting any replies because some people think it would be better to just let this be.

If you do want to search for it, the only other thing I could possibly think of would be to search using different variations of "AussiePrankzTV" (with spaces, with an "s" instead of a "z", etc.). EDIT: like here on Twitter, where the user has the YouTube channel "AussiePranksTV" and the description "Street Pranks!" in their bio. Channel itself does not exist, however. Nor does it appear to exist on the Web Archive.
