Another tragic reminder that humans can’t live only on fruit.

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.

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.

In many ways Zhanna Samsonova did know what she was doing, but that does not make her passing any less tragic. She sought medical help but by that time, it was too late. Sadly, Samsonova is one of quite a few people who have died using a similar, if not the same, diet. Some examples are below:

Eugenia Cooney has not passed away, but she seems to be very close.

It isn’t worth ending or jeopardizing your life treating a diet like a religious belief or ideology. If you’re going to eat a vegan diet, please carefully plan for it and make sure you can adequately supplement the nutrients you lose by not eating meat. Otherwise, eat meat, ladies and gentlemen. It is an excellent source of protein.
