A famous TikToker who went viral for posting videos of himself eating weird snacks and expired food has died suddenly at the age of 33.
Taylor LeJeune – who was known online as Waffler69 – had 1.8 million followers on TikTok, where he posted videos of him eating strange and sometimes expired foods, including canned ham from the 1960s, reindeer meat and baby food.
Clayton Claydorm, Taylor’s brother, told fans the news in a TikTok video.
“My brother Taylor… appears to have died around 10pm on January 11, 2023, of a heart attack,” he said.

“He was rushed to the hospital and I want to say, an hour and a half later, he died. It just happened, I don’t know what else they’ll tell me in a little while… but I thought I should go on TikTok and let you all know.”
Mr. Claydorm also confirmed his brother’s death to NBC News.
He said he got a call from their mother saying she needed their car to take LeJeune – who lived in Louisiana, US – to hospital because he couldn’t breathe.
An ambulance took him to hospital where he died, Mr Claydorm said.
LeJeune’s father and grandfather died of heart failure before age 50, he added.
Mr Claydorm has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to cover funeral costs.
The page has raised more than $11,000 and in an update wrote:
“It’s incredible to see how many people outside of my small family circle truly loved my brother.”
In waffler69’s last TikTok video before his death, he ate a large colored cereal bagel dipped in milk, as a follower had asked him to do.
His brother asked fans to show their love by re-watching the 33-year-old’s videos.
“Please keep his legacy alive,” she said, noting that his brother loved to make people happy.
