Influencer Joe Felz has passed away at age 40, and his girlfriend has slammed the 'false narratives, assumptions and speculation' surrounding his sudden death.
Felz, who was originally from Georgia but moved to Costa Rica earlier this year, had amassed over 772,000 followers on Instagram by documenting himself flipping houses and sharing home renovation DIY tips.
His girlfriend, Alxzondra, announced his shock passing via Instagram on Monday by posting an emotional tribute.
'Joe Felz has left this earth and has finally found his [freedom],' she wrote.
'I don’t have many words right now, but I ask that you please give myself, Joe’s family and all of his loved ones the space and time needed to process a loss of this magnitude.'
She also shared a message from someone named Brandy, which read: 'The manner in which something occurs should never overshadow the end result or the legacy that is left behind.
'Think before you speak. Consider who will hear your words, and honor those who have yet to speak.'
She concluded the post by thanking his fans for their 'prayers, love and understanding,' and for 'remembering Joe for the life he lived.'

Hours later, she shared another post hitting out at the 'false narratives, assumptions and speculation' surrounding his death.
'Thank you to everyone who has shared kind words, stories, and memories of Joe. Please keep them coming - they are helping more than you know,' she said.
'What is not helping, and what Joe would have been absolutely ashamed and disgusted by, are the false narratives, assumptions and speculation that are already circulating.
'I understand Joe meant a great deal to many of you, and that’s exactly why I chose to share this news.
'But there is a real family trying to process an unimaginable loss, and social media rumors that flow into local real life should be the last thing we have to deal with right now.'
Alxzondra promised that 'when the time is right' the 'truth will come' but added: 'Right now is not that time.'
'Until then, honor the man instead of feeding the rumor mill,' she urged. 'Respect the family he loved and the people he leaves behind. Think before you speak.
'If you weren’t shoulder to shoulder with him - you likely don’t know the whole story -and it’s not your place to fill in the blanks.'
Felz was also known for his off-grid lifestyle and previously spent time living in a van and travelling the country, before he moved to Costa Rica
In addition, he often posted advice for living sustainably and offered solar energy consulting through his company

Felz's cause of death has not been released.
In the comment section of her initial post, many people shared theories about what had happened to him.
'This man was doing a ton of research into things we all need to be paying closer attention to,' one user wrote.
'I’d really like to know the circumstances of his death. I do hope nothing nefarious is at play here.'
'I can’t believe this. I think everyone knows this wasn’t just random or a coincidence. We know the truth!' added another.
'He was such a rare breed and truly wanted the world to have truth and our own understanding of things.
'It seems that we the people can’t ask questions or seek out the truth without dire repercussions. Knowledge comes at a cost and it’s BS! I'm sorry to his friends and family, may he rest in peace.'
'This seems very fishy. WTF. Flew too close to the sun... RIP,' said someone else.
'So we all collectively know there’s something suspicious about this, right?' read a fourth comment.
Felz started his real estate firm Felz Investment Group in 2011, which 'specializes in single-family and short-term rentals, operating in Georgia and Washington State.'
