TikTok star Waffler69, who was known for eating bizarre food, dies ‘from presumed heart attack’ | US News


A TikTok star who went viral for posting videos of him eating bizarre snacks and expired food has died aged 33.

Taylor LeJeune – who is known online as Waffler69 – has 1.8 million followers on TikTokwhere he posted videos showing him eating quirky and sometimes expired foods, including 1960s canned ham, reindeer meat and baby food.

Clayton Claydorm, Taylor’s brother, announced the news to fans in a video on TikTok.

“My brother Taylor… passed away at around 10pm on January 11, 2023, believed to be from a heart attack,” he said.

“He was taken to the hospital immediately, and I’d say, about an hour and a half later he passed away. This is still quite new.

“I don’t know what will happen in the near future… but I think I should go on TikTok and let everyone know.”

Mr. Claydorm also confirmed his brother’s death to NBC News.

He said he received a call from their mother saying she needed their car to get LeJeune – who lives in Louisiana, USA – to the hospital because he couldn’t breathe.

Mr. Claydorm said an ambulance took him to the hospital and he died.

He added that LeJeune’s father and grandfather both died of heart failure before the age of 50.

Mr. Claydorm has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for his mother’s funeral costs.

The site has raised more than $11,000, and in an update he wrote: “It’s crazy to see how many people truly love my brother beyond my little family.”

In waffler69’s last TikTok video before his death, he ate Big Fruit Loop dipped in milk after a follower suggested.

His brother asked fans to show their love by reviewing and sharing the video.

“Let’s keep his legacy alive,” he said in the TikTok video. “See his stuff that he’s released. Keep him alive. He loves making people happy.”
