Caleb, who shared the TikTok from a hospital bed, clearly banged up, and with staples in his head, and bruises and scrapes over much of his face, updated fans in the short clip that he just found out his neck isn’t broken.
In a GoFundMe update shared previously by his sister Peyton, it had been speculated Caleb might have a spinal fracture after slipping and falling while hiking with friends.
Upon sharing his gratitude for the support he’s receiving both via GoFundMe, online, and through his faith, Caleb then admitted, “This is not the first time I have almost died in my life.”
Caleb told his fans that when he was younger, the social media star suffered from serious seizures and “almost died.” Caleb added, “Yesterday I almost died as well.”
