U.S. beauty blogger Ethan Peters (aka Ethan Is Supreme) has died at the age of 17.
Peters’ official cause of death has not yet been made public, but influencer Ava Louise tweeted about his struggles with addiction.
If anyone talks negatively about my friend and his actions over the past year he was battling addiction. If anyone has anything negative to say about addiction I will come for you with a vengeance. Speak positively of Ethan. He was an artist & inspiration. So talented.

“2 percs killed my best friend. Ethan was well liked and well respected in the beauty industry. About a year ago he turned to drugs due to the pressure of being famous online at such a young age,” she wrote on Sunday.
Peters, who lived in Houston, Tex., had 544,000 Instagram followers and 139,000 YouTube followers.
The sometimes controversial beauty blogger, who had been accused of being transphobic and racist in the past, was known for dramatic and gory makeup looks.
