The report adds:
Family members have since set up a GoFundMe page to help cover funeral costs and support the grieving family during this challenging time. The page has received strong support from fans and the community, reflecting the impact Rylo had on those around him.
The GoFundMe page was set up by a cousin of Rylo Huncho. In her description she says the cause of death was an accident/suicide. She also says the family is still trying to find out why. This is what the GoFundMe statement reads.
Rylo Huncho's untimely death has sparked conversations about the responsibilities of social media platforms and the influence they have on young users. The community continues to rally around the family and share memories of Rylo's passion for music and his bright future.
More than $2,000 was raised through the campaign GoFundMe fundraising.
The description reads: “Hi, my aunt recently lost her 17 year old son to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was her only son! She was a single parent, but cared for her son as best she could. Suicide/accidental was the cause of his death, we are still trying to find out why. But all I mean, anything can help her in this time of need. He was her only child, she was an only child too, it was always her and her son. Everything can help! Please keep my family in your prayers, thank you very much.”
The Gateway Pundit has not been able to independently verify the validity of the GoFundMe or any claims made about the teen.
A report from Biz Pac Review noted: “The short viral clip raised questions about the rapper's fate and at least one social media account suggested, 'according to his family, he went to the hospital and died from injuries. his friend posted the video [because] people said the friend shot him. his family also said he was depressed, but since he's gone, we'll never know if it was a bad accident or if it was done on purpose. ''
