Quandale Dingle: Is he dead? Internet prank exposed
As the popularity of Quandale Dingle on TikTok has grown, netizens are now spreading claims that the teenager who became an instant hit as a meme has died.
On the video-sharing site, a video with more than three million views has gone viral, alleging the online sensation has died. But it is safe to conclude that it is just an online fake. Dingle is still alive.
After a video of the child went viral in 2021, Gen Z grew attached to him. Many people saw the name on the back of the football player’s jersey when they saw him on the pitch. Later, Quandale Dingle rose to internet fame.
This week, a video surfaced online with the claim that the New Jersey native had passed away. A TikTok user by the name of jaisvideos has produced one of many videos mourning his passing. A poster of the high school football player with a halo surrounding his head and his head tilted can be seen in the video.
Additionally, the text of the video reads:
They’re all dying, rip quandale dingle. Due to suicide, Quandale Dingle died at the age of 419.
Others who used the same poster and cried hysterically shared their own videos. Here are some of the responses to the video:
When did ale Dingle actually die? Rumor on TikTok denied
Online sources claim that Dingle is still alive, although there is no supporting documentation. It is also essential to be aware that there is still no accessible information about the football player.
Although he is an online meme, his social media accounts are not accessible.
It’s safe to assume the story was made up by online users, as no reputable publication has reported on the internet celebrity’s death.
Many celebrities have fallen victim to these deadly pranks in recent years. Justin Timberlake, Tom Hanks, Avril Lavigne and even Jaden Smith are just a few of the many celebrities.
Everything you need to know about the online phenomenon
Dingle, a high school football player from Pennsauken, New Jersey, gained popularity after being recognized by a TikTok user, according to KnowYourMeme. The latter discovered that the word “Dingle” was written on the back of his jersey after recording a YouTube video of his team.
Dingle appeared in the first video, which was posted on September 13, 2021. Quandale Dingle’s name was placed under a video of a Windows PC login that was posted on TikTok by user asapfeet.
The now viral photo of him is still distorted, and it seems the athlete would prefer to keep his identity and appearance a secret.
The kid, who has since gained notoriety as a meme, is still known as a high school athlete. One netizen, however, claimed that Dingle had graduated.
An image of Dingle’s name written on a piece of paper was posted to TikTok by user goofygoober793 on June 18, 2022. The principal then announces Dingle’s name on stage, and Dingle walks up to him to graduate. In just five days, the video received over seven million views.
It is clear that Internet users are big fans of the teenager. It is understandable that netizens are spreading false information about him given his burgeoning popularity online.
