The New York City-based content creator died by suicide at age 20 on July 31, the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner confirmed to PEOPLE.

"It was Chase’s own decision to enter Heaven," Filandro's family said in a statement to PEOPLE.

His family described the influencer, who was a junior at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, as “a talented artist with boundless creativity.”

“He was a singer, musician, actor, teacher, artist, poet, and painter,” the statement continues. “Chase was a beacon of light with a magnetic personality and zest for life that touched everyone he encountered, both in person and online.” Filandro was a vocalist for the five-part indie rock band Just Add Water, which played gigs throughout Long Island. He performed in a show with the group as recently as last summer.

I'm not religious but I don't think it works that way.

Ever go to a funeral where it was mentioned they went to Hell? It seems everyone at every funeral goes to Heaven.

That’s how people cope with irrational thoughts when they have no explanation why someone commits suicide. They’ll say anything positive to cove up the fact the guy some type of demons.

Seems like the artistic types are emotionally off.

No idea who the dude was, but I hate reading about really young people dying by suicide. Supposed to be the prime of their lives and instead they were in such a dark place that suicide seemed like the best option. Sad shite.

God will decide that; Chase will not decide it.
