TikTok star Craig Clark’s son has reportedly passed away. On July 18, 2024, a friend of the social media sensation took to the social networking site to share the “tragic” news. Followers have since taken to the internet to share their condolences with the influencer’s family.

Craig Clark’s friend Justin revealed on the video-sharing platform that Jayden was “pronounced dead on the scene” after falling “about 115 feet.” The accident reportedly took place on July 17 after Jayden left his residence to “do some exploring” and “a little fishing.” However, while hiking, the 20-year-old found a “beautiful view,” lost his footing, and fell.

Justin also claimed that Craig Clark received the news of Jayden’s passing from the coroner. Justin stated that the youngster was killed upon impact. He also added:

“Jayden didn’t suffer at all. As soon as he hit the bottom, the lights turned off. So if there is a silver lining to be had, I guess that would be it.”
