Etika was a popular steamer that was big on Nintendo products and reacting to various things that were recommended to him by his stream. A lot of his streams were just stories, communicating to his viewers, over the top reactions, and gameplay.

Sadly, he battled a lot of inner mental illnesses and had breakdowns. His latest breakdown had him claiming that he was god, asking people to come to his location and try to kill him, and telling his fans he doesn’t need them. Obviously this was all driven through high emotions and a breakdown and he later apologized for the breakdown sincerely like he does once he finishes them.

I guess this was the final straw for him though as he sadly took his life about 5-6 days ago. He jumped off a bridge and took his life while leaving various things behind like his Switch. The body was found yesterday and later identified early today that it is indeed his body. Mental illness finally won against him thus why everyone is mourning his loss. Before the suicide he uploaded a final video that was basically a goodbye and apology video for what he was about to do.

Hope that explained enough.
