A TikTok celebrity who gained fame for sharing videos of himself consuming odd foods and outdated food has passed away at the age of 33.
With
1.8 million followers on TikTok, Taylor LeJeune, also known online as
Waffler69, posted videos of himself eating strange and occasionally expired
cuisine, such as reindeer meat, tinned ham from 1960, and baby food.
Taylor's
brother Clayton Claydorm broke the news to followers in a TikTok video.
Death Cause
He
stated, "It is believed that my brother Taylor passed away from a heart
attack on January 11th, 2023, about 10pm."
He
was taken to the hospital right away, and I believe he died an hour and a half
later. This is still fairly recent.
I
don't know what's going to happen soon, but I figured I should post something
on TikTok to let everyone know.
Mr.
Claydorm additionally informed NBC News about his brother's passing.
He claimed that he got a call from their mother requesting their automobile to transport LeJeune, who was stationed in Louisiana, the US, to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing.
He
was transported by ambulance to the hospital, where he later passed away,
according to Mr. Claydorm.
He
noted that LeJeune's grandpa and father both passed away from heart failure
before the age of 50.
Mr.
Claydorm created a GoFundMe page to solicit donations for the funeral expenses
his mother had already covered.
In
an update, he stated: "This has been insane to see how many people
actually loved my brother outside of my small circle of relatives." The
campaign has donated more than $11,000.
Last Video

By

their support.
He pleaded with viewers to preserve his legacy in the TikTok video. "Pay attention to the stuff he has published. Maintain his life. He cherished seeing others smile."
