Tony tells us Connor used gold to enhance the color of his skin and to create "superhuman" traits ... and he did see a huge change in him -- he was bolder, more courageous and had elevated energy.

Still, Tony says he warned Connor he should cool it with the amount of gold he was injecting ... worried about the unknown consequences of having the precious metal -- sometimes bought right from jewelry shops in Thailand -- in his body.

Tony tells TMZ he believes the gold may have altered Connor's mindset and got him "stuck" in another personality, bringing out a side of him that desired going to extreme measures for his looksmaxxing and content creation. Tony worries that altered state of mind may have encouraged actions that eventually led to Connor's demise.

As you know ... Connor drowned Tuesday in Thailand after locals in town called police on him for "erratic" behavior. He reportedly fled from cops and jumped into a lake nearby, swimming until he could no longer stay afloat.

This is another one of Connor's friends talking about his alleged gold injections. 'Androgenic' is also a influencer.

“He started to get this fixation on gold. He started to believe that gold was some gatekept mineral by the higher-ups that basically gives you special powers if you ingest it…”

“A few weeks later he started the experiment, he was injecting gold… He was just crazy. He was covered in discoloration from gold poisoning… He ended up covered in his own blood, running around his neighborhood screaming, and then the police where called, and then the police chased him down, he ran into the lake, tried to escape, and we know what happened. Rest in Peace”

“I always had this thought that Connor Murphy is so deeply misunderstood… but it is so unfortunate that I so desperately wanted him to be vindicated. I wanted Connor Murphy to completely vindicate himself and for people to realize, wait this guy is onto something, this guys actually a smart guy that actually know how to live, better than the average guy does…”

“I miss him deeply, and I wish he didn’t do that obviously… At the end of the day, I f-cking love Connor, and I hope he’s living in some blissful afterlife.”

Connor was one of my closest friends. I stayed with him last month in Thailand and he was the most accommodating and awesome guy I've ever met.
