CONCORD, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A popular TikTok personality, Malik Taylor, tragically died in a single-car crash last week in Concord, authorities confirm.

According to the Concord Police Department, officers were called to Lapis Lane NW around 7:44 a.m. on Wednesday, August 20, following the report of a serious accident.

As officers arrived, they found a 2016 black Nissan Rogue SUV overturned at the bottom of a steep 20-foot drop, off the side of the road.

Taylor, 28, was the only person in the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene by Cabarrus County EMS. The Medical Examiner’s Office and Concord Police’s Criminal Investigation Division determined no foul play was involved, but alcohol is suspected as a contributing factor.
