Dave from Operation Hangover has died, his official TikTok account confirmed.
The TikToker, who amassed over 10,000 followers on the platform, frequently shared dangerous trends including chugging and reviewing bottles of alcohol.
In the latest post on Tuesday (27 December), a woman claiming to be Dave's sister announced his passing. She revealed that Carla, Dave's wife who often featured on the account, was trying to get some "rest" and is yet to speak about his death.
She said she couldn't figure out how to go live because she isn't "tech-savvy" and explained how the family had launched a GoFundMe page to help with the funeral costs.
