It was confirmed that Edgar was “knocked out” during the fall, which led to him drowning in the water below. Family members also claim he suffered “severely damaging injuries.”
His brother Carlos later told news outlets his brother was filming a TikTok video at the time of his death, which was something he “loved to do.”
“My brother has a TikTok account that he loved to upload videos to,” he told WTHR.
“Unfortunately, that was what he was trying to do when he was closer to the edge than he should have been.
“He was just visiting, so, for him to be laid and his final resting place somewhere miles upon miles away from here is just awful and devastating.”
