A man abused in the street for dating a transgender woman has died after reportedly taking an overdose, his girlfriend has claimed.
Maurice Willoughby, 20, who went by the nickname "Reese Him Daddie" is said to have taken a number of pills before he 'lost control'.
Partner Faith Palmer said she attempted to calm him down but fled to safety when she began fearing for her own life.
Maurice then tragically killed himself, she says in an Instagram post.
The death of the budding musician, who had Faith's name tattooed on his face, came shortly after a video circulated on social media of him being taunted outside a shop in Philadelphia, US.
