Everyone that came in contact with him loved him and was awed with his multiple talents. We sincerely thank you and Mark for the support and opportunities you gave Daniel. An hour later I received a call from an LA ambulance asking me if I am the father of Daniel Kyre.

I ended the text asking him “Are you happy?”. On Wednesday September 16th I sent Daniel a text telling him how excited I was for him that things are really looking good with the Markiplier / Cyndago collaboration, the other Cyndago activities and the music he was writing with his guitar (Daniel was a great guitar player). Things were really starting to gel after the short seven months Daniel moved from our home in South Carolina to LA to pursue his dreams thanks to you and the opportunity afforded by Mark Fischbach.

My wife’s, his 18 year old sister’s and my heart will never mend. Daniel will live on in our hearts and in the memories of the thousands of people he brought joy to everyday through YouTube. We’re truly sorry that a story that brought so many people happiness had to have such a sad ending. You have all changed our lives and we hope that we could make each one of you smile. It’s been nothing short of an amazing journey and all of you are loved. When Cyndago was started in 2012, we never expected to come this far. We would like to thank everyone who stood with us throughout the years. You are worth more than you think, and suicide reaps massive effects upon everyone around you – your friends, your family, and everyone’s life who you touched. If anyone out there experiences suicidal thoughts or is battling anxiety/depression, we urge you, please seek help. We will release one final vlog addressing the current situation. We have no plans to release any further videos, podcasts, or songs. We would like to announce that Cyndago will no longer carry forward. Surrounded by his family, Daniel passed away in peace. He was taken off of life support on Friday, September 18th, 2015. Doctors confirmed that he had suffered irreversible brain damage and would not survive. Family was notified and flew to Los Angeles to be by his side. He was rushed to the emergency room and transferred to the intensive care unit. It is with heavy hearts that we inform you that Daniel was found in his room on the afternoon of September 16th in critical condition after an apparent suicide attempt.
