Landlord of home trashed by American 'Looksmaxxer' complains to police

The landlord of a home trashed by American 'looksmaxxer' Connor Murphy has filed a complaint with police over property damage.

Suzy Sucheera and her daughter Maprang Thitaree arrived at the Bang Phli Police Station to seek compensation for their damaged lakeside home, which cost 22m baht, or around 500,000 GBP.

The family had been renting out the beloved property on the outskirts of Bangkok to the 31-year-old YouTuber when he destroyed it before drowning at a golf course lake in a mystery meltdown on July 7.

The house was found in disarray, with black paint splashed and smeared across the walls.

Piles of maggot-covered rubbish were strewn in the previously pristine kitchen, while the sofas, dishes, decorations, and various appliances were stained in brown and yellow paint.

A Buddhist shrine had been converted into a cluttered dartboard stand.

Police Colonel Pairoj Petchploy, superintendent of Bang Phli Police Station, said he instructed the investigating officer to proceed with the case and assess the damages.

He added: 'We have coordinated with forensic officers to examine the deceased and gather evidence, which will be included in the case file.

'We will also appoint a private company to inspect and assess the damage inside the house. Its findings will be added to the case file to support the victim's compensation claim.'

He added the damages were estimated at around 2 million baht.

Heartbroken owner Suzy said she was devastated by both the damage to her home and the death of her tenant.

She added that she was looking for buyers as she no longer wanted to see the lake again and had no plans to return to live in the area.

The landlord said: ‘We bought this house many years ago. It has always been our family's most treasured home, and we have always taken great care of it. We never really wanted to rent it out because we were afraid it might be damaged.

'But my son works overseas and my daughter works in Bangkok, so we decided to rent out the house.

'We wanted the rental income to help cover the estate maintenance fees, and we also wanted the house to feel alive again instead of sitting empty.

‘We were very selective when choosing a tenant. Then about three months ago, the estate agent brought an American man and a beautiful young woman to view the property.'

She said the family then spent around 120,000 baht preparing the house, replacing the air conditioners, beds and sofa before Connor moved in.

He allegedly claimed he wanted to live there permanently and even asked to rent the property for 22 years.

But during his three-month stay, complaints began to emerge over repeated disturbances at the property.

Suzy said: 'On July 2, the estate management informed us that neighbours had complained about loud music coming from the house late at night.

'I asked him through his girlfriend about the complaint. He said he just had the TV on a little too loud, so I relayed that to the estate management.

'Then, on July 7, the day everything happened, the security guards and the estate management called to tell me that he had become erratic.

'They said he was moving like he was swimming, slithering like a snake, dragging his chest along the road, then sitting down and praying as if he was terrified of something before suddenly running into the lake.

‘Later, when I looked through his old Instagram posts, I saw that he had gone swimming like that many times before. But this time was different. He destroyed my house, made a lot of noise, and was acting aggressively, disturbing other people.'

The YouTuber - a self-proclaimed 'Giga Chad' - was reportedly seen rolling in the street with his hands clasped in prayer before fleeing from police to a nearby golf course, where he stripped naked and swam into an 8ft-deep lake.

Officers watched from the shore for hours, fearing he would pull them underwater, before he was seen struggling to stay afloat and disappearing beneath the surface.

Divers recovered his body around 30 minutes into the search. He is believed to have drowned after suffering leg cramps.

Suzy said she went straight to her property after hearing what happened.

She said:'I was heartbroken by what I found.

'The damage was everywhere, from the upstairs bedrooms to the ground floor. Paint had been splashed all over the walls. Candle wax had been dripped across the floors. Furniture was damaged, and even the shower hose had been ripped out. There was hardly a single part of the house that was still in normal condition.

''I feel fortunate that he didn't die inside my house as a result of harming himself.

'I also had to go back to the house to remove the garbage that's been left there long enough for maggots to appear, and slowly begin cleaning everything up, repainting the areas he covered in paint, and cleaning the furniture and floors.

‘I have already informed his girlfriend about the damage. She promised to notify his family in the United States. His relatives are now travelling to Thailand to arrange his funeral.'

She added that she would consult her lawyer about what legal action could be taken to recover the cost of the damage.

Suzy's daughter, Maprang, said the family only later found out that Connor was a problem tenant who had previously caused destruction at his former rented home.

She said: 'Walking into the house afterwards was heartbreaking. It was covered in paint, rubbish and damage everywhere. This house means so much to our family.

‘I hope this can serve as a warning for anyone thinking about renting out their home. You never expect something like this to happen to your own family. We had only ever seen stories like this online, and never imagined it would happen to us.'

‘We only learned afterward that he had also caused problems at a previous rental property. I don't know how that situation ended.

'Right now, we're gathering as much evidence as possible and following the proper legal process.'

Despite the incident, Suzy's son Pek Charn said the family will always look fondly at the home.

He said: 'This house is filled with precious memories. Even though people may now look at it differently because of what happened, to us it will always be the same house, our mother's favourite home, the place our family and friends have always wanted to return to, and a place that will always hold those memories forever.'

Fitness influencer Connor Michael Murphy drowned in a golf course lake at Lake Wood Village near Bangkok on July 7 after allegedly suffering a frenzied meltdown.

He reportedly fled police and swam naked before disappearing beneath the water.

Authorities are awaiting autopsy and toxicology results after recovering unidentified pills and syringes from his belongings.

In 2024, Connor allegedly flew into a jealous rage and smashed up his Pattaya home with a golf club.

Police said Murphy barricaded himself in a bathroom after the alleged rampage, which left the house wrecked and both him and his Thai girlfriend injured by shattered glass.

Officers did not arrest the Los Angeles native after the woman declined to press charges.

Connor, who branded himself an 'anti-shirt activist' and a 'Chad', which is a slang term for an alpha male, handled several YouTube channels, including Connosis, Connor Murphy Talks, and Connor Murphy Official, which have a total of more than 2.4 million subscribers.

One video tells viewers how to get a chiselled 'giga Chad' square jaw.

He posts a variety of content, including fitness advice, vlogs, pranks, and clips of himself flirting with women.

Connor also ran an OnlyFans account where he sold videos of himself romping with women.

He grew an online following by posting workout routines and motivational posts. However, fans noticed he shifted to more 'psychedelic' content in 2020, focusing on meditation and spirituality.

His last YouTube video, posted on July 1, was titled 'RIP Elon Muscular'. It showed him dribbling a ball in his home as he 'absorbed the spirit of Elon' and 'thanked him for his sacrifice'.
