He was missing for a week: TikToker dead at the age of 31
Atlanta (USA) - Sad news from the USA: Jiare Schneider has died at the age of just 31.
As Fox 5 Atlanta reported, a shocking call was received by the authorities on Tuesday. According to the report, friends and family of the TikToker had found the body of their loved one in a car in the middle of the woods.
Officers set off immediately and were finally able to confirm the tragic discovery.
About a week and a half earlier, Schneider had been reported missing after borrowing a friend's car to visit a strip club.
"We knew something was wrong when he disappeared," a family friend, Germequa Bell, told the news portal.
So far, the circumstances surrounding his death are still unclear. However, the car was badly damaged when it was discovered.
The spokesperson for the police department responsible also explained that investigators believe that Schneider was driving too fast when he left the road and crashed into a tree. Whether this was merely a tragic accident or a crime is still under investigation.

Bell also told Fox 5 Atlanta that she was dissatisfied with the work of the police. According to her, she did not feel that the young man's disappearance had been taken seriously.
"Of course we are relieved that we found him, but we are also angry that we didn't get the resources and help we asked for," she continued.
Now his little son Nolan (6) is all she can think about, who has to grow up without his father.
