A well known TikTok star has reportedly died from a heart attack, his brother has said. The popular content creator, @Wafffler69 whose real name is Taylor Claydorm, was famous for eating strange combinations of nostalgic food and posting it on his channel.
The social media influencer who had reportedly been making his unique content for 16 years accumulated over 1.7 million followers on his platform with 32.8m views. Some of his biggest hits were videos of him eating unusual meals such as canned cheeseburgers and a range of expired novelty foods, the Mirror reports.
In his last upload on January 11, 2023, he filmed himself consuming an enormous piece of Fruit Loops cereal dipped in milk. His brother Clayton told TMZ that Taylor had sadly passed away at the age of 33 after he was rushed to a hospital in Louisiana and later announced the devastating news to his followers in a TikTok video.
The content creator was said to have been suffering from some discomfort and contacted his mother before he phoned an ambulance.
The sibling told his followers on TikTok he had died on Wednesday evening at approximately 10pm from a 'presumed heart attack'.
He said: "He was rushed to the hospital and about an hour, hour-and-a-half later he passed away."
Clayton asked those who loved his brother's videos to continue watching them to keep his legacy alive.
He said: "He loved making people happy". He also revealed that Taylor's father and grandfather also both suffered from genetic heart problems.
