I posted this on his FB page:

Dear friends, family, and YT supporters. Many of you have already heard of Doug's passing. I want to clear up any rumors of foul play or suicide and also explain why a wellness check was not done sooner.

Doug's mom did not know he was missing until this Sunday afternoon when I contacted her. I had only learned that he was "missing" that day myself.

After no response to her emails and calls to him, she became worried and called the apartment manager on Monday morning. It was unusual for him not to return her calls.

It is apparently not so easy to get the police to do a wellness check. It took her several calls to the landlord to set up a wellness check. Meanwhile we waited. After not hearing from anyone for a few hours she contacted the police, who did not see the need for a wellness check, until she explained the urgency. Once they understood the situation better, the landlord and police worked together to get into his apartment where Doug was found dead in his bed. There was no evidence of foul play or suicide.

He had been in touch with his mother for quite a while (since his dad's passing in March) and spoke to her the previous week about taking baby steps to rebuild their relationship. They were making plans to get together in person after the holidays and he told her he was looking forward to that.

We are not sure if there will be an autopsy yet. His mom is only now letting the rest of the family know of his passing.

Please allow them time and space to make arrangements and grieve their loss.

I hope this helps answer some questions.

He will be missed by many.

Thank you Tammy. His friends and family will miss this man as will his YouTube followers like myself. Big loss to the world. Growing up in Scientology posted the Coroner's report that the cause was heart disease. If you hear rumors otherwise please pass this along. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD8AAvA3_JDFeOps-HzPPHg/community?lb=UgkxBrHjw0l3U6WYSo0Rdg-I2b65svNY3VVD .

This is the worst of news. Doug was so helpful in answering any questions on Reddit. He will be missed there and YouTube. I am a big fan of his show.
