TikTok personality Ali Walker, known online as Ali Kingston University, has been found dead at the age of 43. His body was discovered in Three Kings Pond in Mitcham, south London, on 11 August. Emergency services attended the scene, but he was pronounced dead shortly after.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that a member of the public raised the alarm at 9.45am. A spokesperson said: 'His next-of-kin has been informed. His death is being treated as unexpected but not suspicious. A file will be prepared for the coroner.' The pond is located just minutes from Walker's family home.
Walker gained notoriety after attempting to take part in adult star Bonnie Blue's '1,000 men challenge', which involved her sleeping with 1,000 men in 12 hours. He later withdrew, telling MailOnline it was 'the most surreal experience of my life' and that the event was a 'free for all' rather than the one-to-one sessions he had expected.
He subsequently claimed to have slept with another adult performer, Lily Phillips, and wrote a song dedicated to her titled 'Bunda'. Friends paid tribute on social media, with podcast host Shaun Maroof saying: 'He was a friend of mine and it's really sad. So many people did love him.'
Walker's funeral took place at Morden's Baitul Futuh mosque on 14 August, followed by burial at a local cemetery. He had studied for an English degree and created his online persona after struggling to find a job.
