HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? Social Media Influencer Monetizes Live Stream of His Descent to Hell — Now With REAL News

The youthful social media sphere was shaken to its core earlier this week following confirmation that that influencer Christopher “X-Treem” Mulligan had taken his own life.

Mulligan, 32, was host for one of the internet’s most popular live blogs, “The X-Treem Files.”

The daily three-hour video postings were long ramblings punctuated by stunts. Past hits included skateboarding off a roof, wearing one pair of underwear for five weeks, and setting himself on fire then trying to run fast enough to snuff out the flames.

Fans mourning Mulligan’s passing were surprised when a new video appeared in his feed.

“Hey everybody! It’s ya boy, X-Treem! You might be wondering why I’m in this dark tunnel with the rocks glowing red. That’s because I’m coming to you from the afterlife. That’s right. I’m descending into Hell. And it’s hotter than balls down here!”

“You may be wondering how I got here. I wasn’t sure if suicide was a sin, so I did a lot of bad stuff before I offed myself. To my neighbors, sorry about your twin babies. I had to do it, because I have the best fans and I’ll do anything for them.”
