Monday, July 22, 2024 -An extreme eater died in front of horrified viewers after binging on food for hours during a livestream.
Pan Xiaoting, 24 passed away on July
14, while livestreaming herself eating.
An autopsy revealed the former waitress'
stomach was left "deformed" and full of "undigested
food," TimesNow reports.
Xiaoting's livestreams reportedly lasted
for up to 10 hours and involved her eating around 10kg of food, despite
warnings from her parents and well-wishers.
The influencer from China was
taking part in a live stream on Mukbang when tragedy struck.
Mukbang is a type of video where hosts consume large amounts of food while interacting with their audience in real time.
Xiaoting was known for her long
videos, according to China News.
It even emerged that she'd been
hospitalised before for gastrointestinal bleeding, but continued eating
dangerously and livestreaming it.
On social media, one person described
her as "literally a victim of gluttony" as the incident highlighted
the dangers of taking part in extreme feats for online fame.
Some also questioned the need to
perform such challenges.
In 2020, China introduced regulations
to curb excessive eating in Mukbang content with streamers facing fines if they
violate the rules.
