British actor Aaron Eaton has been found dead at the age of 29, just days after the release of his breakthrough film Brotherhood.

The Croydon-born actor, known as 'Yogi' to friends, played Teardrop in the Noel Clarke-directed film. Stormzy, a friend of Eaton who also had a role in Brotherhood, was among those to pay tribute at a memorial service this week, the Croydon Advertiser reports. And countless others from film and music have posted messages following Eaton's sudden death, including Clarke. https://twitter.com/NoelClarke/status/773614986438537221 https://twitter.com/Stormzy1/status/773862797721632768 The Evening Standard reports that Eaton had worked as a mentor for aspiring young actors in addition to his work on Brotherhood. An earlier performance - playing 'Wolfy' in 2015 film AWOL (Absent Without Love) earned the rising star a best actor nomination at the International Achievement Awards, held in London. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrrZDv18JV4 https://twitter.com/TheAWOLfilm/status/774026051378814976 A crowdfunding page has been set up to contribute to funeral costs for the 29-year-old, and has already hit its £1,000 target. The appeal reads: 'Aaron (yogie) will be missed by so many people and has left a deep hole in many people's heart's! I am trying to raise a bit of money to help with his funeral expenses, what ever we can give to his lovely family at this hard time! Every little helps. Thank you.'
