TikTok star Marquay The Goat has died at age 24.
The social media star, real name Marquay Collins, was found dead at his Georgia home on Wednesday (Nov. 26). A coroner says his death is believed to be connected to a car accident the influencer suffered on Nov. 7.
According to TMZ, Collins was evaluated at a hospital after the crash and released the same day, but he later complained of headaches as well as neck, shoulder, and spine pain.
Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan told the outlet that Marquay also complained to his brother about shortness of breath and headaches shortly before he died.
Although the case is officially listed as undetermined, the coroner reportedly believes it is related to the accident.
Marquay documented the crash in a TikTok video posted the same day it happened, showing himself on the roadside in Atlanta with an ice pack to his head and saying a Tesla had rammed into the back of his car. His vehicle's bumper appeared crushed, and the Tesla was being loaded onto a tow truck.
In the video he said, "my head is literally killing me right now," and added that his head was "banging" and "throbbing so hard."
Collins’ body is being sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations for an autopsy, and the case remains under investigation.
The TikTok star’s mother, Sonja, shared the news of her son’s death through a Facebook post.
