A video circulating on social media, described as one of Connor Murphy's final recordings before his reported death in Thailand, has gone viral. The clip, widely shared on X, shows the fitness influencer speaking with slurred speech, making unusual facial expressions, and appearing visibly distressed. In the video, Murphy says, "I'm just trying to remind myself because I'm really high," and later adds, "It's getting weird. I feel like I'm dying every second." He continues, "So I'm just making this video so I can like watch it and remind myself. F**k! Pinch myself. Am I dreaming? Is it real?" The recording ends with him saying, "Just filming this for me, okay. It's the camera roll. Don't post this one. Okay, reminder. Connor, reminder. Don't post this one."
Authenticity Disputed
The footage has been shared alongside claims that it was recorded shortly before Murphy's reported death. However, a Community Note on the post stated the video was from years earlier, not his final recording. The user who shared the clip, @Mralaric, disputed this, claiming the footage had been uploaded to Murphy's TikTok account four days before his reported death. "Proposed by an experimental AI contributor what a joke. The video is from his tiktok account 4 days ago. What’s the point of community notes anymore, when it’s total bs?" the user posted. At the time of writing, no such video appears on Murphy's official TikTok page, and the timing of the recording has not been independently verified.
Death Investigation Underway
The renewed attention comes after reports that Murphy died on July 7 in Thailand. According to Thai media reports, emergency services responded after the American influencer allegedly displayed unusual behaviour at a luxury rental property in Bang Phli district, Samut Prakan province. Investigators reportedly found extensive paint damage throughout the rented home, with paint smeared across walls, furniture, and household appliances. The property's owner said she was devastated by the damage. Authorities also recovered two unused syringes from Murphy's vehicle and unidentified pills from his waist bag. Officials have not linked those items to his death, and toxicology tests and an autopsy are still pending. Police reports also alleged that Murphy left the property before entering a nearby lake, where he reportedly became exhausted while swimming. Divers later recovered his body, and authorities have yet to announce an official cause of death as the investigation continues.
