Meanwhile, TikTokers are speaking out, urging others not to try stunts like this in order to become big on social media.
“We don’t realize the power and influence that an app like this does,” TikToker ‘jea_777’ explained. “Just do we can get a little likes, a little couple hearts or shares. Is your life worth it?”
The TikToker went on to say that a lot of people will do things like this for a dopamine hit and offered his prayers for the man and his family.
So far, there’s no word on who the man was or what his account was, but the investigation is ongoing.
