His sister revealed on Facebook however that he passed away today (April 23).

Eric shared his final journey with us this morning as all his immediate family were able to be at his side when he passed away. Thank you to all of your love and support and prayers and fasting. It was amazing to be with so many of his friends and family yesterday in the hospital who came to express their love for Eric. He gave us such a gift of a life fully lived and fully shared, and allowed us all to be a part of his last adventure here on earth. It is hard to think of life without his bright spark, but we know he is on to new adventures. We look forward to carrying on his legacy here and greeting him joyfully again someday. I love you so much, little brother!

Hill had been spending the past year on a journey he called GO with Eric, The Global Odyssey in which he planned to document going to every country in the world by 2016.

Our condolences to his family and loved ones.
