EstrangedBelgian TikTok star, David Baerten, claims he wanted to conduct a social experiment and teach his family a “life lesson” by faking his death. He is seen in videos shared on his TikTok account arriving at his funeral via helicopter.

Baerten told the Times of London, “What I see in my family often hurts me” after the family reportedly grew apart. So he concocted a plan to show his family members that they shouldn’t wait until someone dies to reunite.
