Late Looksmaxxing influencer Connor Murphy had shared alarming video while ‘really high’: ‘I feel like I’m dying every second’
· New York PostLate looksmaxxing influencer Connor Murphy shared an alarming video before his shocking drowning death this week in which he looked panicked at how “high” he was — saying it left him feeling like he was “dying every second.”
The 32-year-old self-styled “giga chad” – who had 2.36 million subscribers on YouTube — looked panicked and disoriented in the clip that has gone wildly viral since his drowning in Thailand on Tuesday.
“I’m really high. It’s getting weird,” the anguished YouTuber said in the clip, which has now been viewed 2.6 million times.
“I feel like I’m dying every second,” he said as his eyes darted around the room.
Gurning from whatever drugs he was on, the influencer then told his followers, “I’m just making this video so I can watch it and remind myself, ‘Am I dreaming? Is it real?'”
The video started being reshared Tuesday, soon after news broke of the chiseled influencer’s death, with fellow YouTuber “Call me Koosh” calling it “last message to the world before his death.” However, it actually appears to be from several years ago, according to news.com.au.
Murphy shared numerous bizarre videos, with his last July 4 where he was marching up the stairs wearing a cape and holding a bow and arrow.
The late influencer was known to dabble in psychedelics, according to fellow looksmaxxer Androgenic.
“He began meditating, taking psychedelics, and looking into spirituality and the concept of awakening, which I myself find fascinating,” he wrote in an obit on X.
“His ayahuasca trip in 2020 catapulted him into a state of manic grandiosity, where he faked his own death and literally ‘acted’ in disturbed and bizarre ways.”
Ayahuasca is a psychedelic tea used by indigenous peoples for spiritual healing – with hallucinations lasting up to six hours.
It’s not clear if Murphy was under the influence of drugs at the time of his death – but pills were reportedly found inside his bag when cops searched his rental home he shared with his 22-year-old girlfriend, only identified as Bee in local media.
His girlfriend stressed that she had never seen him take drugs.
At least two boxes of the prescription-strength antidepressant medication Stablon, known as tianeptine, were near the sink.
The Food and Drug Administration has not approved the drug for medical use, and it’s not known if Murphy was taking it.
There were also several packets of Falim — a Turkish sugar-free gum used to strengthen the masseter muscle and enhance jaw appearance — that lined the sink.
Murphy was involved in a shouting match with a security guard when he arrived back at his estate Tuesday – moments before his death.
He was irked when a driver wouldn’t give him a lift back to his home.
Murphy shouted at the security guard before fleeing when cops arrived.
Divers later pulled his body from a 32-foot-deep lake near his home.
