The Clark County Coroner’s Office confirmed to The U.S. Sun that Coly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Coly rose to fame through his videos on Vine before he and his girlfriend, Amber Harrison, started a popular YouTube channel together in 2018.

On Thursday evening, Amber posted a video of flowers she received with a song called Dancing in the Sky, which has lyrics about missing someone after their death.

She then posted another video of flowers featuring one of Coly’s songs on her Instagram Story.

In her third post, Amber posted a picture of a phone with a message to her fans.

“This made me feel a lot better! Amen,” she wrote.

“Y’all don’t know the half !!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE !!!!!” she added.

“Let him rest.”

In the next post, she concluded, “Got the answers I needed and I’m okay.”

It’s unclear if the couple were together at the time of Coly’s death.

When Coly’s manager announced his death on Thursday, fans immediately flooded Amber’s Instagram comments with questions and condolences.

Just hours later, her comments had been disabled.

Similarly, Coly’s manager, I Discover Stars, has limited responses to his posts on the platform.

On Thursday, Coly’s manager wrote, “Rest in peace @iamlucascoly I love you bro. My heart is ripped in half. Wait for me up there.”

However, the caption has since been changed to just a heart emoji.

Lucas Coly’s manager’s wish

Lucas Coly’s manager asked fans to stream his music on Friday to honor his death.

I Discover Stars said Coly began to create Afrobeats music before his death in the post.

“This post was hard to make because I’ve been avoiding listening to anything with his voice,” the manager wrote on Instagram.

“But Lucas wanted to be a crossover artist. The truth is these algorithms make it so hard for artists to push their music to their supporters.

“It would be a dream of mine if we can all get together and stream his songs until we can chart. Lucas never got radio play and refused to sell out. It hurts seeing all the press he’s getting now.

“We wanted that while he was here. But being non-problematic isn’t press worthy.

“Ask your radio stations to play your favorite Lucas Coly song.

“Also how I am choosing to grieve is different. I want to stop crying, so keeping his dream alive is helping me. Someone told me at a dinner yesterday, make them proud that’s honoring their legacy.

“So that’s what I’m hoping to do. Everyone please let’s all work together to help Lucas chart. So the whole world will know my brother for his talent. Truly a once in a generation talent.

“I love you bro @iamlucascoly , I’m going to do my best while Im still here to let everyone know what a talented, standup guy you were.”

He also posted a picture of himself with Coly and edited the caption to, “my brother.”

Hours before his death, Coly shared a last post to Instagram with simply the words, “I love yall.”

MANAGER’S REQUEST

Tributes on social media poured in for the French-American rapper, who lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the time of his death.

His fellow Vine star Demetrius Harmon posted two pictures of their former group of friends together on Instagram, writing, “Rest up my boy.”

It hurts seeing all the press he’s getting now. We wanted that while he was here.
