20-yr-old New York-based influencer Filandro dead by suicide

A 20-year-old New York City-based influencer, Chase Filandro, has reportedly died by suicide at age 20.

“It was Chase’s own decision to enter Heaven. Our family is heartbroken and devastated by the sudden and unexpected loss of our beloved Chase,” his family confirmed in a statement to TMZ.

Filandro’s death was first announced on Sunday in an Instagram post from his sister, Franki Ford.

“My brother, Chase Filandro, was a shining light who had an incredible zest for life.

“Chase was an avid traveler and was moved by the beauty of National Parks. He always welcomed strangers with a smile and made friends along the trails he traveled on,” Ford captioned a photo of Filandro beaming below Mount Rushmore.

Daily News gathered that the internet personality, whose Instagram boasted over 35,000 followers at the time of his death, died on July 31.

A GoFundMe has been set up “to honor his life and remember his legacy forever” with a memorial near one of Filandro’s favorite parks, Ford said.

“Once finalized, we’ll share the details so you can visit and enjoy what Chase loved doing most, knowing he is right alongside you,” she added.

The GoFundMe did not publicly reveal how much money had been raised in Filandro’s memory, though Ford wrote that the goal was reached “in only 13 hours.”

“Chase clearly had such an impact on many,” she wrote in the fundraiser’s update.
