The body of a budding New York YouTube star was found in the East River on Monday evening, nearly a week after he completely vanished.

Desmond Amofah, better known by his online name of Etika, was last seen in Brooklyn on Wednesday, hours after he posted an ominous eight-minute video in which cryptically hinted that he may commit suicide.

And tragically on Tuesday, NYPD officials revealed that they had located the 29-year-old’s body near South Street Seaport yesterday evening, at around 6:20pm.

‘We regret to inform that Desmond Amofah aka Etika has been found deceased,’ a tweet from the police department read.
