Was the Yes King guy in a coma? Viral image emerges online as daughter confirms TikToker Michael Willis Heard’s death

Michael Willis Heard, the TikToker known for the “Yes King” meme, is no more; his daughter, Mykel Crumbie, confirmed this in a Facebook post. She shared multiple pictures of her dad to share the news with an emotional note. 

After the announcement, a photo of the late content creator also emerged on social media with a claim that he was in a coma before he passed away. Davyon Augustus (@consciouztv) shared a screenshot of Mykel Crumbie’s Facebook post on Instagram. 

The YouTuber asserted that Michael Willis Heard had an asthma attack, leading to a heart attack. @consciouztv claimed that the Yes King guy suffered from brain death that caused his demise. The content creator also shared a picture of Heard while he was hospitalized and wrote: 

“His daughter provided the images of him during this time in a coma to social media. I post them to provide proof of his passing as there have been many hoaxes in the past of him transitioning, but this time it's real” 

While Mykel Crumbie did share the image of Michael Willis Heard lying unconscious on a hospital bed, she didn’t confirm the cause of his death. Despite @consciouztv using the picture to assert that the Yes King guy was in a coma, the claim that a heart attack led to him being brain-dead remains unverified. 

Another claim also surfaced on Facebook, with a user asserting that Michael Willis Heard died in an accident. The post read: 

“THE "YES KING" JUST DIED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, This Confirmed By Dreamy, Rest In Peace King.” 

In contrast to the claim, @theonly_dreamy didn’t make such a confirmation. Instead, the content creator posted a tribute to Heard. Like Dreamy, many others also paid tribute to the late TikToker.
