Laita announced Larry’s supposed death on his YouTube channel, citing relatives who claimed he had died of a heart attack.
At a later date, it would be revealed that Larry was alive and unaware of the rumors about his death.
In a subsequent video, he appeared alongside his daughter who admitted to lying about his death to obtain money – she had been given $1,000 for Larry’s ‘funeral.’
She expressed remorse over the lie as she puffed on a cigarette, saying: “I shouldn’t have done it.
“I’m trying to get help for my drug addiction.”
