A Forty-five year-old Belgian, David Baerten, known as Ragnar le Fou on TikTok, has faked his own death inorder to see reactions from friends and family.
Baerten who felt unappreciated by those around him, first secured attention on social space, as his daughter wrote a tribute to her father on her social media handle.
She wrote: “Rest in peace Daddy. I will never stop thinking about you.
“Why is life so unfair? Why you? You were going to be a grandfather, and you still had your whole life ahead of you.
“I love you! We love you! We will never forget you.”
The act proceeded to a staged funeral service, which was attended by many friends and family members all dressed in Black last weekend, near the city of Liege.
While the mourners were patiently waiting for the event to kickstart an helicopter landed.
In the video posted on TikTok by an attendee, @el.tiktokeur2, it showed Mr Baerten stepping out of an helicopter alongside a camera crew and was then greeted by mourners.
Although, many looked confused and perplexed.
According to The Times, the TikToker said, he faked his death because he felt “unappreciated”, by his family members.
His words: “What I see in my family often hurts me, I never get invited to anything. Nobody sees me.
“We all grew apart. I felt unappreciated.
“That’s why I wanted to give them a life lesson, and show them that you shouldn’t wait until someone is dead to meet up with them.”
