A famous Texas "looksmaxxing" influencer has died overseas. Connor Michael Murphy, 32, reportedly drowned in Thailand on Tuesday after jumping into a lake to avoid police, according to local reports.
Murphy, a self-proclaimed "Giga Chad" with 2.36 million YouTube subscribers, was pulled from a lake in Samut Prakan, a town located roughly 16 miles south of Bangkok. The chiseled influencer with deep, carved abs was observed acting erratically with a security guard at his rental home before his death.
Murphy's girlfriend, 22, told authorities she didn't know what prompted his outburst. The influencer shouted at the guard, rolled on the ground, and then fled the scene when police arrived, according to reports. He then plunged into the 32-foot-deep lake and disappeared.
Divers recovered Murphy's body about 30 minutes later. He was found about 66 feet from the bank. There were no visible signs of foul play, authorities said.
Murphy had been renting a home in Samut Prakan for about two months before his drowning. The home overlooked the lake.
The "alpha male" influencer recently uploaded a video to YouTube in which he stated that he was "absorbing the spirit of Elon," per the New York Post. Another recent video he posted was titled, "A Day in the Looksmaxxing Life of Mandibleus Zygomidus."
A "looksmaxxer" is an individual who is obsessed with their outward appearance and engages in practices to physically improve their appearance, ranging from getting in shape to cosmetic procedures.
