A man in Arizona reportedly died by suicide following a viral video incident at a coffee shop drive-thru
Nautica Malone reportedly died by suicide on Saturday, as confirmed by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner. He tragically shot himself in the head.
This all happened just days after the manager at Bikini Beans Coffee recorded him pulling up to the drive-thru while naked from the waist down. It was said he was masturbating at the time.
An employee noticed and alerted the manager, who told Malone his actions were “unacceptable” and asked him to leave. Malone then drove away as staff scrambled to call 911.
The video quickly spread on social media, racking up millions of views.
After Malone’s death, family members showed up at the coffee shop, blaming the staff for what happened.
In a statement, the owner of Bikini Beans expressed his condolences to Malone’s family but emphasized that the safety of his employees is his top priority. He noted that Malone’s actions were criminal and that he is committed to protecting his team.
