Rolling Ray‘s sudden death shocked his massive social media following back in September, and for good reason … the influencer died from natural causes just a few days before his 29th birthday.

Maryland’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed Ray’s organic death with People on Monday … the social media star had been suffering from declining health for more than a year, battling both pneumonia and a blood infection.

Ray was in a wheelchair for the bulk of his life, after being diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy as a toddler, but he was able to sell his personality to the world — and Zeus Network.
