China: 24-year-old mukbang streamer dies due to overeating during live streaming
A 24-year-old Chinese mukbang streamer died during a live broadcast due to overeating, media reports said.
The deceased was identified as Pan Xiaoting.
During the fatal broadcast, Xiaoting suddenly collapsed and died. An autopsy revealed severe abdominal deformation and a stomach full of undigested food, reported The Express Tribune.
According to local media reports, the cause of the death was overeating.
Known for her extreme eating challenges, Xiaoting would consume food for ten hours straight without breaks. In one instance, she ate 22 pounds of food in multiple meals. Her eating habits previously led to hospitalisation for gastric bleeding, but she resumed creating mukbang content the day after her discharge, despite fans' concerns, the Pakistani newspaper reported.
What is mukbang?
Mukbang is an online audiovisual broadcast in which a host consumes various quantities of food while interacting with the audience.
