Desmond Amofah, more commonly known to many as the YouTube personality Etika has been found dead, after going missing six days ago. Concerns rose when the man uploaded a video to his YouTube channel where he talked about depression and suicide. Yesterday, it was confirmed that Etika's belongings were found laying along the edge of a bridge in Manhattan. A police investigation was opened, which resulted in the authorities pulling a deceased male from a nearby river. The New York Police Department then later confirmed that the body did in fact belong to Desmond Amofah. The YouTuber showed previous signs of distress, as when he entirely deleted his YouTube account earlier this year, to the shock of his massive online fanbase. Etika rose to YouTube fame by playing Nintendo games, having almost a million subscribers. He died at the young age of 29.

He had a couple of mental breakdowns recently where he was even raided by the police and was put in a mental institution. After he constantly shit on his friends and told him he doesnt need them. Alot of his friends left him after that which made him realize how he fucked up. People took the clown meme way too far and it must have played a huge part in it too

I just want to know what is about being alone? I have few friends but i am alone most of the time and if they left i will be sad little bit and live alone freely. Words hurts me too but i forget them naturally after few days I wake up fresh.

Alot of people deal with it differently. Some people need attention from others

It's not about being alone. It's about losing people that you care about or mean something to you.

Rest in peace.

If I say anything else, my humor will take over and I'll sound like a jerk.

I learned that no one is worth it other than your family. Everyone can replace you in a blink of an eye or end life time relationship by one sentence.

 

[YeezusWalks]

Rest easy lad...

damn, after seeing the episode a few weeks back with him being taken to hospital after a mental breakdown i would've though he would have been kept under close watch, but after knowing a few people who have been suicidal the support offered now days are all obsessed with "care in the community" no doubt to reduce costs, people going through things like this should definitely reach out to one of the care lines like the Samaritans i have been told by several people who have been having these thoughts how helpful it was once they plucked up the courage to just give it a go

He had a great channel and a lot of followers..I dont understand why he todo that...ITS SO POINTLESS but wharever..the depression is so stupid, there so many better things to do..but..fine...rest in peace boy , not you can sleep with no worries.

 

[SG854]

Oh My God What the Fuck! I just saw a video of him around last month where the police came into his house to make sure he was ok because he was having a mental breakdown and he had it live on Instagram.

 

[DKB]

Damn. What a shame.

 

[Asia81]

rip even if I don't know him

 

[guily6669]

Well I also don't see what's the secret combination for this shitty life... May he find something else on the "other side" if there's even anything else out there...

But I think is this world that needs a restart, its all about the famous, rich and corrupt motherfuckers out there.

 

[wurstpistole]

I'm sorry who? This is not meant disrespectfully, I just do not have one single clue who this person is.

 

[DinohScene]

Haven't heard much about him but still sad.
Suicide and depression is a real problem not many understand.

 

[spotanjo3]

Sorry to hear that but I don't know him and never heard of him at all. Was told that he swearing and doing unusual stuff things.

I don't watched any drama on youtube at all. Not my things. Just into walkthrough, and E3 news and video games news. Thats all. Avoid the drama.

I just want to say please, PLEASE take caution when going into rivers, canals, and the like. I recently had someone close to me die drowning, I will spare the terrible details, but they to suffered from mental issues, it wasn't a suicide, but they simply did not understand the dangers of the water. It actually happens frequently in my area. Again PLEASE take caution in the waters, and always keep seeking help first when dealing with mental illness.

Peace!

RIP my man Etika. I only watched his reactions and never caught any of his live streams, but his reactions always made me laugh or smile.

I learned that no one is worth it other than your family. Everyone can replace you in a blink of an eye or end life time relationship by one sentence.

Some people aren't lucky enough to have a loving and caring family. Some families abuse their kids, neglect them, or are just too busy to spend time with each other. Some kids are orphans so they have very few people to turn to.

Regarding the bold part: Friends you trust and respect and you know the feeling is mutual is very hard to replace or end your friendship with just one sentence. Even if you try to intentionally end the relationship, they're probably going to be concerned about you.

never heard of him

1. Disgusting PFP

2. Can't blame you. Not everybody is up-to-date on all the streamers. Etika was a great entertainer and streamer who had depression and "people" on the Internet were making fun of him.
