David Baerten, 45, and his wife and children decided to prank friends and family members to find out what they really thought him.

To spread the news of Mr Baerten's death, one of his children took to social media and wrote a tribute to her father.

She wrote: "Rest in peace Daddy. I will never stop thinking about you.

"Why is life so unfair? Why you? You were going to be a grandfather, and you still had your whole life ahead of you.

"I love you! We love you! We will never forget you."

The funeral, which was staged last weekend near the city of Liege, was attended by many friends and family members dressed in black.

Everyone was waiting for the ceremony to begin, but instead, they were met by a landing helicopter.

The TikToker said that he faked his death to see how his wider family would react and said he felt "underappreciated" by them.

He added: "What I see in my family often hurts me, I never get invited to anything. Nobody sees me.

"We all grew apart. I felt unappreciated.

"That's why I wanted to give them a life lesson, and show them that you shouldn't wait until someone is dead to meet up with them."

Mr Baerten, also known as Ragnar le Fou, claimed some loved ones have been reaching out to him since the prank adding it "proves who really cares about me. Those who didn't come, did contact me to meet up.
So in a way, I did win."

My worry is why he actually believed that only those who came to his Funeral liked him for real...Faking his own death isnt the best way to ascertain that as many circumstances could come up to deny people the chance to attend the Funeral

In all star's tribute to dagrin, his best friends, YQ, Sossick and Dj Zeez were werent featured on that track....how does that invalidate the genuity of their friendship when he was alive

Why should you care if most people love u or not, if thats not validation seeking that stems from low self-esteem, I wonder what it truly is

Hahah you should know this is a skit now and what people likes

It easier to get attention in this new world by doing illogical things for illogical reasons

Is the new norm to be sane is now to be seen as insane...

Alot of people who did more reasonable things never got attention
