YouTube star P2istheName has died. He was 26 years old.
According to a report from TMZ, the influencer, whose legal name is Philip Enewally, was found dead on Friday, March 14 in a mailroom in Los Angeles County.
Enewally’s cause of death is not yet known, the outlet reported. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for further information.
TMZ also reported that Enewally’s mother confirmed the news, and asked that fans respect his family’s privacy in the wake of his death.
Enewally has been making social media videos for nearly 10 years, and amassed nearly 4 million YouTube subscribers in that time. He was known for his gaming videos, in which he played video games including NBA 2K and Fortnite, as well as vlogs, pranks and more.
He later went on to start a production company, Iced Entertainment, as well as his own clothing line, and opened up about the process of founding a company in several of his videos. He often spoke about his faith and was candid about the difficulties of starting a business.
“I’m trying not to cry right now,” he began one of his final videos, titled “I Made My Own Clothing Brand and It Actually Worked.”
“God is amazing, bro. God is amazing. [If y’all could only see] what it took to get here,” he said, emotionally opening up about his successful fashion brand.
“… I literally was praying in the car for a beautiful drop, thanking God for even giving me the creativity to put this together,” he said elsewhere in the heartfelt vlog.
Enewally’s final video was uploaded to YouTube about two weeks ago, and he previously shared that he was planning to move from Los Angeles to Atlanta, Ga.
Fellow YouTuber COLETHEMAN spoke out about the content creator’s death, writing in a post on X Saturday that he was at “a loss for words.”
“My good friend @P2istheName has passed away,” the YouTuber wrote. “Wow. I’m honestly at a loss for words. He was always so kind to me and gave me so much content creation advice.”
“May he rest in peace,” he added. “This breaks my heart.”
