Lynche’s roommate discovered him dead inside thier apartment in New York City. He was pronounced dead at 4 p.m. As of yet, no cause of death has been determined, though the death has been deemed suspicious by the medical examiner.

“There was no note, no pills,” a police source told the New York Daily News. “We’re waiting on the medical examiner.”

Lynch was a Mouseketeer from 1993 to 1995 alongside eventual big name stars Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling and Christina Aguilera. Dale Godboldo, who also appeared on the Mickey Mouse Club, remembered Lynche as an immensely passionate and well-meaning man.

“Knowing Marque during the MMC days — as my little brother – I knew he was hugely talented with a passion for the arts, and a passion for life,” Godboldo told People. “But it was more recently while collaborating on an MMC related project that I got to know Marque as a man.”

“He was so excited to be a part of something that would encourage young people to pursue their dreams and a life of purpose,” Godboldo added. “Marque was a beautiful spirit, that although had endured so much, only wanted to spread love and inspiration. I’ll miss you man. I know you’re flying with angels. RIP.”
