Frank Ocean's brother Ryan Breaux reportedly dead in car accident at 18, fans say 'he was taken too soon'
American musician Frank Ocean’s little brother Ryan Breaux reportedly died from a car accident earlier on August 2. The news regarding the crash was first reported by ABC. However, the names of the victims weren’t revealed as the family was yet to be notified. Few reports that surfaced after the news broke are suggesting that it’s Ocean’s 18-year-old brother Ryan.
ABC report reads, "Two people were killed early Sunday morning after a fiery car crash in Thousand Oaks." It further states that the collision occurred around 1.30 am near Westlake Boulevard and Skelton Canyon Circle. The vehicle was reportedly traveling south on Westlake Boulevard when it left the roadway and crashed into a tree in the center median.
The car was reportedly ripped in half from the impact and by the time Ventura County sheriff’s deputies could arrive it was ablaze. The department declared both the victims dead. The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation. Ocean is yet to comment on the same.
Meanwhile, shocked fans took to Twitter to share their condolences with Ryan’s family, as they mourned the loss of the boy. One devastated user tweeted, “Rip ryan breaux. you were taken too soon. sending prayers to frank & his family. & to those asking for the album please stop. now is NOT the time. he just lost his brother share some f***ing respect.”
