Alexander “AJ” Jennings, “Outer Banks” stuntman, died at age 22 in a double car accident in Charleston, South Carolina, as reported by Deadline. The young man was hit by two cars on July 5 between 2:30 am and 3 am. The two vehicles fled, the sheriff said, but the driver of the second car was arrested shortly after.
Jennings was born in New York and moved to Charleston to be Chase Stokes’ double in ‘Outer Banks’. Stokes, who plays John B on the Netflix series, posted a message on his Instagram stories saying goodbye to his partner: “I’m still trying to work out why certain things happen and why the world works that way. My heart is broken. Your life had just begun. We had just talked about how excited you were about your music, until point six “I would have come with your Ole 6 String and you wanted to continue creating art. Always, always warming the hearts of others and being so selfless. I wish I had more words to say right now, but the last day was a challenge, and I’m not up to it. We all love you, you have marked all of our lives and made us better people, and thank you for that, AJ. Fly high, angel “.
