Caleb Bratayley's death is not a mystery – online sleuths should stand down

The 13-year-old YouTuber's sudden death has led to much speculation - yet more evidence that internet detectivism rarely ends well

Caleb Logan Bratayley - real name Caleb LeBlanc - was the eldest child of the Bratayley family, based in Maryland: a dad, mum, and three kids vlogging (video blogging) since 2011.

The family is a sort of online middle-class version of the Kardashians, and has modelled its success on another YouTube family, the Shaytards.
