Vegan influencer Zhanna Samsonova has reportedly “died of starvation” after subsisting exclusively off a diet of exotic fruit in Malaysia, according to her friends and family.

She was 39.





quote:

The Russian national — who frequently promoted raw foods on social media where she was known to her millions of viewers on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram as Zhanna D’Art — reportedly died July 21 after finally seeking medical treatment during a tour in Southeast Asia, according to local media outlet reports.


quote:

Samsonova’s mother attributed her daughter’s passing to “cholera-like infection.” However, her official cause of death has not been declared.


quote:

“She ate only durian and jackfruit for seven years,” said a friend. “You don’t need to be a doctor to understand where this will lead.”

Guarantee her hair fell out, her period was gone, hormones were fricked and emotions were garbage. She looked like a damn skeleton in those pics.

That'd be a hard pass.
Sorry she's deceased, may God have mercy on her.

Anyway

Nature has a way of sifting out the feeble minded from the gene pool. In this instance, she was so stupid she literally starved herself to death.

Sadly, eating disorders are some of the hardest things to treat. And can decline to a medical emergency in a hurry. Especially if the mindset is the disordered eating is for an alleged health benefit.

Her arms and collar bone area are shocking in this pic.

I would think that you would break bones just getting out of bed with that diet.

Usually what gets someone when they’re restricting to that point is heart issues (like extremely low heart rate) like issues with heart rhythm. Anorexia nervosa has a really high mortality rate as a result.
