A vegan influencer seems to have died of starvation-related causes after eating only raw fruits and vegetables — and not drinking water — for years.
As The Sun reports, Russian influencer Zhanna Samsonova, better known as Zhanna D'Art on social media, died in Malaysia on July 21 after her friends and family begged her to seek medical attention.
The influencer's mother Vera told Russian media that her 39-year-old daughter died of a "cholera-like infection" not long after she implored her to come back home to Moscow.
"I understood that Zhanna was about to die," the elder Samsonova told the Russian newspaper Novye Izvestiya, "but still I could not help her in any way. My daughter's life has turned into a nightmare."
Along with eating only uncooked fruits and vegetables — primarily durian and jackfruit, according to friends — the influencer also claimed to not have had any water to drink for years because, she insisted, she simply didn't need it.
