Clayton told the outlet that Taylor's dad and grandfather suffered from genetic heart problems.

A star on TikTok, Taylor boasted nearly two million followers on the platform and was known for consuming a ton of wild foods.

Some of his most viewed videos saw him eat expired foods, including cereal originally packaged in 1989 to promote Tim Burton's Batman movie or canned foods from decades ago.

Followers would especially get a kick out of the random retro VHS and DVDs that would appear on his table.
