Minnesota TikTok comedian Joe Muchlinski — who went by @VonViddy on the platform — has reportedly died by suicide at the age of 32.
His sister, Martha Muchlinski, revealed his passing in a video posted to her TikTok page on Monday.
“I do want to confirm for his fans that he did lose his long battle with mental illness, and he did take his own life,” she announced in the somber clip. “Joe fought a long and really terrible battle with his mental illness and all we can hope now is that he is at peace.”
The bereaved sibling added that she wanted to provide “closure” for anyone who was a “VonViddy fan” and to just let know people what happened.

Just hours before news of his death broke, Von uploaded a final clip to his TikTok, where he’d frequently uploaded comedy and music bits for his 170,000 fans.
In the heartbreaking footage, the Minneapolis native described how he wanted to be remembered as a “creator of videos that made people laugh, and a creator of music.”
“I also want to be remembered as a camp counselor who helped kids to make happy memories,” added the social media star.

Hello Joe,
Here’s someone else for you, again on YouTube:
Dr Sam Vaknin
As you know, Narcissists seldom seek therapy, because they cannot admit that they need help. Dr Sam Vaknin is different: he KNOWS he’s a Narcissist, thus he often gives a much different slant on this topic.
Cheers!
It’s very true. Look at this guy, he had 170,000 followers. Not a superstar, but more than most content creators will ever achieve. And it still apparently wasn’t enough to make him happy.
Narcissism is a very contradictory thing. They may act like they are only concerned with themselves, but in fact, they are obsessed with what other people think about them, and seeking others’ approval. And they do not tolerate others’ disdain very well at all. It’s a very unstable thing to try to base your self-image on.
170,000 on tiktok is not even a blip on the radar.

Nowadays people get to watch other people’s final misery. Gore voyeurs.
Whatta’ great life!
