It is, however, not clear whether the dancer recorded the video the same day he uploaded it, but the tWitch in it was the same bubbly person the world knew.

His demise shook the world, opening the lid on the topics of depression and mental health, and the fact that the world always seems to miss out on the cues that could save lives.

"On social media, we can share happy moments and look happy but be battling depression heavily."

Cecelia Johnson:

"I went to look at his TikTok and this was two days ago. It doesn’t read suicide to me at all especially when I first read the headline this morning. Something doesn’t seem right."

Jaelynn Bennett:

"My cousin was joking and laughing with everyone. And did a TikTok challenge with the family. Less than 24 hours later he hung himself. This is why we say functional depression is laughing on the outside but crying on the inside."

Todd Osei:

"Something ain’t right. Was she cheating? Was he going in debt? The math ain’t adding up. He looked full of life."

Body was discovered by police officers
