YouTube star Desmond “Etika” Amofah, whose body was pulled from the East River earlier this week, drowned in what officials have deemed a suicide, authorities announced Wednesday.

Police confirmed Tuesday that the 29-year-old’s body was discovered shortly before 6:30 p.m. Monday in the East River near the South Street Seaport.

Amofah vanished on June 19, after posting a cryptic, 8-minute video to his thousands of followers, in which he spoke about his suicidal thoughts.
