"I am so sad about Ben Breedlove," Kid Cudi wrote on his blog this week. "I watched the video he left for the world to see, and him seeing me in detail, in his vision really warmed my heart.

"I broke down, I am brought to tears because I hate how life is so unfair. This has really touched my heart in a way I can't describe, this is why I do what I do. Why I write my life, and why I love you all so much."

Ben's video, which his family found just hours after his death, showed him revealing a series of note cards which told his life story, set to the rousing Gary Jules' song Mad World.

He said in the handwritten messages which he flashed up to the screen, that he had several near-death experiences in his young life and recounted his most recent one which happened after he collapsed in the hallway of his high school.

Ben shared that in the few minutes when he stopped breathing, before he was revived by the emergency services, he had a vision of being in a white room and was with his idol Kid Cudi.

"Kid Cudi brought me to a glass desk and put his hand on my shoulder," Ben wrote. "Right then my favorite song of his came on, 'Mr Rager.' The part where it said 'When will the fantasy end... When will the heaven begin?' And he said, 'Go Now.'
