Ethan famed for his flamboyant makeover videos was found dead in bed by his father, Gerald Peters, at 11 a.m. Sunday.
Fellow influencer Ava Louise shared a stream of posts about her best friend’s ongoing battle with addiction. She tweeted that Peters’ cause of death stemmed from taking two Percocets, a highly addictive opioid pain medication, according to Drugs.com.
“Addiction is a disease,” Ava Louise tweeted. “I had to pull Ethan aside in recent weeks and have talks with him about usage. Everyone close to him was scared. I just wish I f****** tried harder. I f****** wish I had yelled at him more. I wish I didn’t enable a single pill he popped.”
Ethan had over half a million Instagram followers and 139,000 YouTube subscribers. He started his YouTube career in April of 2017. Before breaking into the beauty industry, he ran a meme Instagram account that grew to 1.3 million followers before he sold it for $25,000 at 13 years old, according to People.
