The death of a 13-year-old boy who had broadcast much of his life on YouTube prompted an outpouring of grief from his fans, and their curiosity was so intense that his relatives and the authorities were pressed to release further details surrounding how he died.

“Due to a large number of inquiries, we can confirm that the juvenile was known as Caleb Logan Bratayley from the popular YouTube episodes ‘Bratayley,’ ” the police in Anne Arundel County, Md., said in a statement about responding to a medical emergency involving the boy on Thursday. The statement also said that the authorities did not suspect foul play in his death, and that the police were no longer investigating.

For the authorities, it was a relatively unusual disclosure, but for the 1.7 million people who followed the everyday activities of “Caleb From Bratayley” and his two sisters, on YouTube, it was another update about a family made famous by the edited stylings (and trappings) of vlogger stardom.
