Canadian artist and model Zombie Boy committed suicide six days before his 33 birthday on August 1 in his apartment, according to Montreal police.
The artist also known as Rick Genest, who was known for his tattoos that covered most of his body, was found around 5 p.m. by police.
Lady Gaga sent out tweets after police announced his death, calling it “beyond devastating,” and asked those who follow her to reach out to seek mental health assistance.
