A 24-year-old competitive eater has passed away following an attempt to ingest 10 kilos of food in a single session. The Chinese influencer, known as Pan Xiaoting, was famous for her lengthy videos, some of which spanned around 10 hours, during which she consumed large quantities of food. She was part of the 'Mukbang' trend, where individuals eat on camera and engage with their audience in real time. The fatal 'Mukbang' session took place on July 14. Upon conducting an autopsy, authorities discovered that the former waitress's stomach was severely deformed and filled with undigested food, as reported by TimesNow. Pan, who was renowned for her enormous appetite, had previously been admitted to the hospital for gastrointestinal bleeding. Following the news of her death, social media was inundated with comments, with one user describing her as 'literally a victim of gluttony,' and another expressing confusion about why people watch others eat. Another commenter lamented the glorification of obesity in modern times.
