American YouTube star, Etika who is popularly known for his videos about video games has been found dead at the age of 29.


This heartbreaking news comes just days after the NYPD started a search for the YouTuber, whose real name was Desmond Amofah.



Police said his body was recovered from the East River Monday night off Pier 16 in Lower Manhattan, and that some of his belongings were retrieved near the Manhattan Bridge, NBC reports.



On Tuesday morning, the NYPD shared the tragic news of Etika's passing, writing on Twitter, "We regret to inform that Desmond Amofah aka Etika has been found deceased."


Detective Sophia Mason DCPI Spokesperson also shared in statement, "On Monday, June 24, 2019 at approximately 1818 hours, police responded to a 911 call for a person floating in the waters in the vicinity of South Street Seaport in the confines of the 1st Precinct. Upon arrival, officers discovered an unresponsive, unidentified male at the location."


The statement continued, "NYPD Harbor removed the male to the Pier 16 where EMS pronounced him deceased. The medical examiner will determine the cause of death and the investigation is ongoing."


His death comes after he had uploaded an eight-minute video in which he included suicidal thoughts. But the video has been removed from YouTube.

This man was living in the US, had a great life (supposedly) making money off of his passion for video games, yet commited suicide. That should be a warning to all the yeye people who think that Yankee is their Eldorado, and as soon as they will get abroad, life will be a walk in the park.

Why not find out why he committed suicide first before you start masturbating over issues you do not understand? Does the fact that there's suicide in both Nigeria and USA now mean that the standard of living in the two countries should be compared?

sadly, the reason WHY he did it (or the standard of living in Nigeria) is irrelevant to my point at hand.

I'd rather commit suicide and die in a foreign land than hang myself in one banga forest near sambisa and have depressed ants feed on my dead body.....

Bro that's exactly what I am trying to point at..... You are so broken mentally that you think that death in a foreign land is better than death in Nigeria. Very sad indeed!

Bro, unless you died and came back to life, your claims are baseless, and people suffer everywhere in this world (whether US or 9ja).

Btw my profile pic should answer your question.

have you ever been to a civilized country, and died there, to be writing the stuff you write (or compare it with)? many of you people think that because there are issues in Nigeria, anywhere else is paradise.... HIGHLY LAUGHABLE!!!!
there are bad issues EVERYWHERE on earth, and if you think otherwise, then i suggest you come taste being homeless/broke in the dead of a snowy winter in these places, you will quickly reconsider you stance.

ask yourself these simple questions:
A) why Nigerians with good jobs dont leave (if it is indeed that bad)?
B) why rich Nigerians dont pack up and leave (if it is that bad)?
C) why so many relocate to Nigeria after a few yrs living abroad, if the west is such a "paradise"?

People commit suicide everywhere on earth; does that mean we all should vacate the earth then?

Oga, there are Nigerians with good jobs that have been leaving this country...and getting better offers or living their dreams abroad...

The rich Nigerians do leave to have vacation and tour around the western world... Now, how many rich/ average living white people come to vacate in Nigeria? except those called and paid to have a talk session in Nigeria?

The ones that have made it abroad, return to Nigeria to establish and develop Nigeria... Not because they want to have a swell time here, but because they just want to add to the society either for their political ambition or for their names to be heard!!

Oga, people do not swing between Nigeria and the western world because Nigeria is a place to be, but because they know that Nigerians are gullible and can easily make a person popular and even richer.. especially when they display a bundle of dollars and few designers wears!!

It isn't about vacating the earth....


People commit suicide in Venezuela, Zimbabwe, India. But million others are still surviving..... But we're discussing on the platform of standard of life in these countries with western country....

The op failed to understand that suicide isn't accomplished because of a failed society or the growing poverty in most countries...But most people commit suicide because they have emotional fight especially between lovers planning on breaking up!!

My point exactly is, we have a standard of living that is above average in a Western world that committing a suicide will be very difficult and cannot be compare to the swiftness of suicide done in a country like ours when you find it very easy to take your life merely looking around your environment!!!

No it just means you should value what you have, wherever you may be...

Don't you think that, if Nigeria was "that" bad, ALL of them would leave (since they have the money to get the hell out? Why do they stay? Why do they see Nigeria in a better light than you. Is your problem really Nigeria or simply MONEY

The rich Nigerians do leave to have vacation and tour around the western world... Now, how many rich/ average living white people come to vacate in Nigeria? except those called and paid to have a talk session in Nigeria?

So the rich go on vacations abroad but willingly come back to the place you quickly call hell?! Guess they must know something you don't.
Why do they see Nigeria in a better light than you. Is your problem really Nigeria or simply MONEY

stop focussing on white people not coming to Nigeria, they don't go to Africa, because they have better places to visit... apart from those that ar coming for safaris or to have sex with children (aka Senegal/Kenya etc)

The ones that have made it abroad, return to Nigeria to establish and develop Nigeria... Not because they want to have a swell time here, but because they just want to add to the society either for their political ambition or for their names to be heard!!

So people are leaving paradise to come back to the place you call hell?! Does it make any sense to you? There must be something there that people like you don't see.
Why do they see Nigeria in a better light than you? Is your problem really Nigeria or simply MONEY

Are you saying that the problem with Nigeria are NIGERIANS themselves? Then instead of trying to run away, focus on changing these people's state of mind.
