There’s a hole in my heart right now, Lucas. We used to talk about our problems all the time but smiled for the fans. There were so many people who hurt us repeatedly, but we always had each other. I’m not sure what to do now. “I’d be a hypocrite if I told you not to do something and then did it myself,” the post stated. The message continued, “Honestly, Lucas, it hasn’t hit me yet because I refuse to think you’re gone.
Heart crushed to shreds. God, send him back here. Please, I’m broken over here. Check on your buddies. #riplucascoly.” Later, the caption was modified to read “My brother.” In the photo, Coly was wearing a black hoodie with the “Death Row” insignia and a face mask pulled down under his chin.
