‘That’s some “Final Destination” stuff.’ A TikTok user is sharing the shocking story of a man who accidentally stabbed himself to death while trying to separate two frozen burger patties.

On a TikTok video that has surpassed 2 million views, user @mr_DYK explains the events surrounding Barry Griffiths.

“Once nobody heard from Barry for about a week, police came over to do a wellness check,” @mr_DYK begins. “They ended up finding him laying in a pool of blood on his bed with a stab wound to his stomach.”

After finding the body, @mr_DYK says, authorities continued to search the scene, following a trail of blood back to the kitchen. He says. “What did they see there on the counter? Two patties with a piece of paper in between them.”

An accidental stabbing

Then, authorities discovered a blade stained with blood and a path leading directly to the bed, @mr_DYK mentions. This is when they started to piece together the events.

“What they assumed happened is old Barry tried to get himself a burger for the day, and he pulled out those patties,” he says. “And we all know those patties always stick together, even if they got the paper in between them,” he says.

“You try to beat them on the side of your counter or something to get them apart, sometimes you gotta pull out the knife. That’s what Barry did,” he guesses.

Furthermore, @mr_DYK explains that Barry also suffered from limited mobility in one of his hands due to a previous stroke. “He was trying to finagle these things apart and ended up accidentally stabbing himself in the stomach with the knife,” he posits.

The TikToker believes Griffiths made his way back to the bedroom to call for help. “He was found near his cell phone and his wallet, but unfortunately, he did not make it,” he says.

Viewers express shock at the story

In the comments, users expressed shock and sorrow at Griffith’s story. Many referred to it as a sad case.

“That’s so sad. For safety, please use a butter knife to separate burgers,” one user wrote.

Additionally, another user said it reflects a lack of empathy in society. “A week? People need to check in more for real,” they wrote.

“That’s some ‘Final Destination’ stuff,” said a third user.

What happened to Barry Griffiths?

As reported by Western Telegraph, police discovered Barry Griffiths, aged 57, deceased at his residence in a facility for people with support needs in Wales on September 16, due to a single stab injury.

It seems that Griffiths led a secluded existence, having minimal interaction with people outside his immediate circle. This could explain the delay in someone reporting the welfare check.
