Marquay Collins, a Muscogee County resident who rose to prominence on TikTok with humorous videos — many of them about food and cars — died Wednesday. He was 24.
Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan told WTVM in Columbus that emergency responders were called because Collins was having trouble breathing. When they arrived, they found the 24-year-old unconscious and unresponsive. Bryan did not provide additional information, and the cause of death remains under investigation.
