Ousted skincare founder Brandon Truaxe has been found dead at 40 following concerns over his drinking and troubling Instagram posts.

被撤職的護膚品牌創始人布蘭登?特魯克斯去世，享年40歲，此前他曾因酗酒和Instagram上的帖子引起一系列關注。

Acting Deciem CEO Nicola Kilner confirmed the news in an email to staff, writing: "I can"t believe I am typing these words".

Deciem代理首席執行官尼古拉?基爾納在發給員工的一封電子郵件中證實了這一消息：「我不敢相信我正編輯的這段文字。」

She called Truaxe a "genius", adding: "I can"t believe I am typing these words. Brandon has passed away over the weekend. Heartbroken doesn"t come close to how I, and how I know many of you will be feeling."

她稱特魯克斯為「天才」，並補充道：「我不敢相信我正編輯的這段文字。布蘭登於這個周末去世。不知道你們大家會有怎樣的感受，我真的傷心欲絕。」

Kilner confirmed all offices, warehouses, factories and stores were closed Monday, Vox reports.

據Vox報道，基爾納證實周一所有辦公室、倉庫、工廠和商店都關閉了。

She added: "Take the time to cry with sadness, smile at the good times we had, reflect on what his genius built and hug your loved ones that little harder.

她補充道：「花點時間來哀悼，回顧我們曾擁有的美好時光，想想天才的他創造過什麼，然後更加努力地擁抱你所愛的人。」

"We are all in disbelief and shock but I will be in touch again very soon. I love you all incredibly much, as did he."

「我們都處於難以置信和震驚中，但我很快會再與大家聯繫的。我和他都非常愛你們。」

Truaxe founded Deciem, parent company of The Ordinary, in Canada in 2013 but after displaying increasingly erratic behavior on social media he was ousted from the company.

2013年，特魯克斯在加拿大創立了The Ordinary的母公司Deciem，但在社交媒體上表現出越來越古怪的行為後，他被撤銷該公司職務。

He announced he was taking over Deciem"s social media accounts, only to share a series of bizarre updates.

他曾宣布負責Deciem公司的社交媒體賬戶，結果卻更新了一系列古怪的帖子。

The beauty giant Estée Lauder, which acquired a minority stake in the company in 2017, took legal action after he claimed his firm was shutting down in October 2018.

美容巨頭雅詩蘭黛於2017年收購了該公司的少數股權。在他聲稱自己的公司將於2018年10月倒閉後，雅詩蘭黛採取了法律手段。

A spokesman had said: "The Estée Lauder Companies is a minority investor in Deciem, and, as such, we do not control the company"s operations, social media or personnel decisions.

一位發言人說過：「雅詩蘭黛公司是Deciem的少數股東，因此，我們不控制該公司的運營、社交媒體或人事決策。」

"We are deeply concerned by the material that has recently been posted on social media and will defend our rights as a minority investor."

「我們對最近發布在社交媒體上的信息深感擔憂，將捍衛我們作為少數股權投資者的權利。」

Truaxe said in an occasionally unintelligible video clip, filmed in the backseat of a moving car: "Hi everyone, this is the final post of Deciem [after] which we will shut down all operations until further notice... about two months."

特魯克斯曾坐在一輛行駛中的汽車后座拍攝了一段讓人莫名其妙的視頻，他說，「大家好，這是Deciem的最後一篇帖子，之後我們將結束所有工作，直到另行通知……大約兩個月。」

Truaxe was ousted and Kilner, who her had earlier been fired, was brought back.

特魯克斯被撤銷了職務，早先被他解僱的基爾納取代了他的職務。

The founder had said he had "terminated employment of several people at Deciem who do not subscribe to my peaceful values".

這位創始人曾表示，他已經「終止了Deciem幾名不認同我的和平價值觀的員工的工作」。

Kilner, who had been with Deciem since the year of its creation, was the reinstated as acting CEO and Truaxe was hospitalized for mental health issues, according to reports. He is said to have also had problems with drug use.

據報道，自Deciem成立之年起，基爾納就一直在該公司工作。後來，她被恢復代理首席執行官的職務，特魯克斯因精神健康問題住院治療。據說他還吸毒。

He last posted four videos to Instagram on Saturday from his penthouse in Toronto. Fans appeared concerned about his drinking, after he claimed to be drinking tequila. One wrote: "BE SAFE."

他上一次在Instagram上發布四段視頻是在周六，地點是他在多倫多的頂層公寓。在他聲稱自己在喝龍舌蘭酒之後，粉絲們似乎對他的酗酒行為感到擔憂。其中一人寫道：「要注意安全。」

The Ordinary acquired a cult following with products that included a $7 foundation earning rave reviews and a 25,000-person wait list in 2017.

The Ordinary獲得了狂熱的追捧，其產品包括一款7美元的護膚產品，獲得了好評如潮，2017年其預售名單上已排有2.5 萬人。
