Aspiring TikTok star, Jiare Schneider’s cause of death has been revealed, over a month after the content creator was discovered dead in Georgia.
Schneider, 31, was found dead in the woods on November 26, ten days after he was reported missing. Clayton County Police have now confirmed he died from injuries sustained in a car crash after striking a tree.
The budding star’s death was ruled as accidental, a representative from the department confirmed to TMZ, adding, that there was ‘nothing suspicious’ about the tragedy.
However, whether or not drugs or alcohol were involved still remains unclear.
Schneider’s death was first reported in mid-November after the soon-to-be star vanished after visiting a strip club.
Several days later, during a family-led search, Schneider’s loved ones discovered their missing family member dead in the woods.
‘A group of us gathered, and we came out here, and we went to the woods … and there he was,’ a friend of the family, Germequa Bell, told the FOX5 Atlanta in November.
‘We knew when he disappeared that something was up,’ she added.

Clayton County Police have since confirmed via a press release that the 31-year-old’s body was found in a vehicle off the intersection of Brown Road and Poston Road in Jonesboro just after 1 pm local time.
‘Our officers received a call from friends and family of Jiare Schneider, who’s been missing from Forest Park,’ Clayton County Police Department spokesperson Lt. Ricky Porter told the outlet.
‘Preliminary investigation suggests the vehicle traveled westbound across Brown Road, through overgrowth and into a tree at the rear of the property,’ according to the release.
Porter later confirmed the vehicle was discovered ‘deep in the woodline, which indicates there was a fast speed approaching the intersection’.
The forest where Schneider’s body was located is around 25 minutes away from a ‘Content Creator House,’ where the internet personality would sometimes spend time.
His devastated family members suggested that Schneider may have been visiting the house before the fatal car smash.
‘We were searching more toward around that Content House he was last seen at. We never got to come this way because it was blocked off by construction,’ Bell explained.
Suspicions were first raised within the family when they noticed Schneider hadn’t called his son in a number of days – which was unusual for him.
His sister, Jasnique Oliver, told FOX5 that her nephew has a chromosomal disorder – known as DiGeorge Syndrome – which is why Schneider ‘calls his son like every day’.

According to the Mayo Clinic, DiGeorge syndrome, also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, ‘is a condition caused when a small part of chromosome 22 is missing. This deletion causes several body systems to develop poorly.’
Oliver added that as well as not checking up on his children, he had also not logged in on his social media even though he was trying to grow his presence online.
When he had failed to upload content for over a week, Oliver knew something terrible had happened.
‘He wants to get himself out there, you know, whether it’s with his music, or whatever he wants to get into,’ she told the outlet.
A friend then called the worried sister to tell her Schneider had been missing for a week, causing the family’s concerns to grow.
Tragically, it was Schneider’s out-of-town family who stumbled across the vehicle wreckage and his body – not local police.
The family said that even though they were relieved to have found the body of their loved one, they were frustrated with law enforcement for their ‘lack of help’.
‘Of course, [we’re] relieved that we found him, but still angry that we didn’t get the resources, the help that we were asking,’ family friend Germequa Bell told Fox 5.
The family is still trying to process their loss and take care of Schneider’s young son.
‘His son, that’s all we can think about,’ Bell said.
The father-of-one was known online as @Big_Homie_TooTall on Instagram and TikTok.
