Zhanna Samsonova, a vegan influencer, has passed away from starvation in Malaysia after reportedly adopting a strict raw vegan diet. The content creator who was 39 years old, is said to have died after seeking medical help during her Southeast Asia tour.
“I see my body and mind transform every day,” Samsonova once gushed on her social media when describing her restrictive eating regimen.The food influencer was reportedly inspired to adopt the regimen after seeing “peers” who looked a lot older than their ages. She concluded that it was because of their “junk food” diets. But while Samsonova claimed she was living her healthiest life, many of her friends could see she was deteriorating by the minute.
Her friend added, “I lived one floor above her and every day I feared finding her lifeless body in the morning. I convinced her to seek treatment, but she didn’t make it.”
