Lucas Coly, a French-American social media star, has trag!cally passed away at the age of 27, as confirmed by his manager.
Coly died at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, on the night of October 2. Authorities have reported that his death was a result of su!cide.
In a heartfelt tribute the following morning, his manager expressed his grief online, writing: “Rest in peace @iamlucascoly. I love you, bro. My heart is ripped in half. Wait for me up there.”
He reflected on their relationship, saying, “Being your manager was one of the reasons I stayed here. There’s a hole in my heart right now, Lucas. We used to talk about our struggles all the time but smiled for the fans.”
He added, “So many people hurt us again and again, but we had each other. I don’t know what to do now. I’d be a hypocrite if I told you not to, and I go and do the same.”
He also urged prayers for Amber H., Coly’s long-term girlfriend, saying, “Pray for Amber y’all.”
The I Discover Stars Entertainment talent manager confirmed he spoke with Coly shortly before his death, stating: “For those wondering how I know if it’s true… 1) I was his longtime manager, and 2) I was on the phone with him moments before.”
He implored others to respect the privacy of Amber and Coly’s loved ones, encouraging people to check in on their friends and expressing regret for not doing more for Coly.
“He loved all of his fans. 2024 has been the worst year of my life. Lucas was more of a brother to me than my client.”
Just hours before his passing, Coly had posted on his Instagram Story.
“I love y’all,” he wrote, accompanied by an orange heart emoji.
The musician was born in France and moved to the United States at the age of eight. He and Amber gained fame through their joint YouTube channel, which last saw an update two years ago.
In 2016, he released the song “I Just Wanna,” which became his most recognized track.
