Tyquavious Sanders is a viral social media subject from Augusta, Georgia, who reportedly faked his own death to avoid paying back an $800 debt. In response, his family humorously circulated a mock memorial flyer and obituary using a questionable photo, sparking massive online commentary. The alleged motive: Sanders allegedly stole or borrowed $800 from a friend and staged his death to get out of repaying the money.
He reportedly went to extreme lengths, even texting his own mother while posing as someone else to claim he had been harmed. Rather than shielding him, family members played along with the joke by posting a viral 'homegoing' memorial flyer and mock obituary details. Social media users heavily criticized or joked about the unflattering photo chosen for the flyer, leading family and commenters to trade jabs over why a better picture wasn't selected. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcJhoNfhKZh/
