“Officers from the Gliwice Municipal Police Headquarters were involved in the operation and with the support of superior units, they verified every tip and every piece of information that could help determine the 23-year-old’s whereabouts.”
It is believed the content creator had travelled to Croatia to find employment.
Lil Narcyz — who attracted upwards of 450k subscribers on the platform — gained popularity as a result of his lifestyle videos and humorous yet often controversial content.
His diss tracks, targeting such topics as school and COVID in particular, had become popular with his audience, with some racking up millions of views.
Despite building a sizeable following, Lil Narcyz had largely stepped away from creating content in recent years.
His final YouTube upload dates back to November 21.
The online figure’s channel has since attracted well-wishes from fans who mourned his loss.
“R.I.P. he was what he was, but I feel sorry for him,” one said.
Another wrote: “It’s sad that we won’t see him again, my condolences to the family.”
The cause of Lil Narcyz’ death has not been confirmed.
