The news of Walker's death first appeared on a local news outlet. However, it did not create any remarkable splash at first because who would care about a random foreigner's demise?
The situation then took an abrupt and unexpected turn when a famous influencer shared the news on their social media. Adding fuel to the fire, they even posted a lengthy video delving into theories and conspiracies surrounding the man's death, and just like that the news began to gain traction.
It was late in the evening that the news exploded, especially during the time when people had clocked off work and youngsters were the most active on their phones. The spread in which it spread was akin to a wildfire, fierce and unstoppable. The famous influencer's post had already amassed nearly fifty thousand likes with thousands of comments, and it still showed no signs of slowing down.
