The family of former AFTV favourite Claude Callegari have confirmed that the 58-year-old died of 'natural causes'.
Claude, who regularly featured on the popular Arsenal fan YouTube channel before leaving last year, tragically died earlier this week.
On Thursday night, Claude's family released a statement on Twitter confirming the cause of his death, before thanking fans for their 'ongoing support'.
'My family and I would like to thank everyone for their ongoing support and kind words during this extremely distressing time,' the statement read.
'I am now able to officially confirm that my father passed away from natural causes relating to his health.
'I hope this will ensure an end to any speculation regarding the matter and our privacy can continue to be respected whilst we make arrangements for his funeral. Thank you'.
The 58-year-old was an ever-present on the channel, which boasts over a million subscribers, from when it was first founded in 2012.
Callegari was a famous contributor to the platform with his passionate rants about Arsenal's performances, and went viral for telling former manager Arsene Wenger: 'It's time to go'.
There was concern about Callegari's wellbeing online after he tweeted to a troll: 'No one is forcing you to watch it don't worry I will disappear soon to see my mother then you can all be happy'.
Tributes have poured in for Callegari, with Arsenal legend Ian Wright leading the messages of condolences for the popular fan, while comedian Matt Lucas called him a 'legend'.
An AFTV statement read: 'We are absolutely devastated today to learn of the death of Claude Callegari, one of the channel's most popular contributors.
'Claude was a much loved figure during his time on the channel and through his passion for Arsenal was able to connect with fans from around the globe on a meaningful level.
'We had continued to privately support Claude during his time away from the channel during the pandemic and the news of his passing comes as a deep shock to everyone at AFTV and in the wider Arsenal community.
'We will not be publishing any content on our platform over the next few days whilst we come to terms with the news of his passing.
'R.I.P Claude Callegari | Father, Grand Father, Friend And A Proud Arsenal Fan.'
