US police have confirmed that YouTube star Etika has died.
The 29-year-old, whose real name is Desmond Amofah, was reported missing almost a week ago.
Several personal items were found on Manhattan Bridge in New York on Monday.
Posting on their official Twitter feed on Tuesday, the New York City Police department said: "We regret to inform that Desmond Amofah aka Etika has been found deceased."
Officers earlier said they had discovered a body in the East River, half a mile from where the well-known gamer's belongings had been found, according to The Mirror .
Etika had gathered more than 320,000 followers on Twitter as well as 252,000 on Instagram.
He rose to fame on social media for his online gaming videos.
He went missing last Wednesday, June 19, after posting a distressing eight-minute video revealing he was feeling suicidal, which has since been taken down.
In the clip, Etika was seen walking along as he spoke into the camera: "I'm sorry I pushed you all away...
"I shouldn't have pushed so many people away, now I've got nobody."
His younger brother, who asked to remain anonymous, told the New York Post that he hadn't spoken to his sibling in nearly a year but when they did he didn't notice any problem with his mental health.
"He didn’t show any sign of depression. I have never seen him behave like that."
The 26-year-old student added that since reports of Etika's disappearance he had tried to get in touch with him: "I love my brother. I hope he didn’t get hurt,” he continued.
“I am hoping and wishing for the best.”
