Vegan influencer dies of starvation after following only-vegan diet for last 10 years
A 39-year-old vegan influencer, Zhanna Samsonova, known as Zhanna D'Art on social media, has reportedly passed away due to complications from her raw vegan diet. According to reports from the New York Post and local media outlets, Samsonova, a Russian national, had been promoting raw foods on her social media platforms for years.
Samsonova, who followed an all-raw vegan diet for at least a decade, reportedly died on July 21, after seeking medical treatment during a tour in Southeast Asia. A close friend expressed concern over her deteriorating health, stating, "A few months ago, in Sri Lanka, she already looked exhausted, with swollen legs oozing lymph. They sent her home to seek treatment. However, she ran away again. When I saw her in Phuket, I was horrified."
According to Samsonova's mother, her daughter passed away from a "cholera-like infection," although the official cause of death was not disclosed. Her mother believes that the rigorous all-vegan diet may have contributed to her exhaustion and the stress placed on her body.
For the past seven years, the influencer had reportedly limited her diet to just two fruits, the giant, sweet jackfruit, and the durian, a spiky fruit known for its custardy meat and pungent smell. Despite her restrictive eating regimen, Samsonova enthusiastically described her transformation, stating, "I see my body and mind transform every day. I love my new me, and never move on to the habits that I used to use."
Zhanna Samsonova used her social media presence to spread her raw diet doctrine, advocating for the benefits of a raw vegan lifestyle. However, her tragic passing has raised concerns among the online community about the potential risks associated with extreme dietary practices.

Mother arrested for killing five-month-old child in Tripura
Agartala (PTI): Tripura Police has arrested a woman for allegedly killing her five-month-old child in Sepahijala district, officials said on Monday.
Initial investigation revealed that Suchitra Debbarma (28) killed her infant to pave the way for her plan to elope with a man she had been in a relationship with for a year.
After receiving information from Suchitra's neighbours, a police team headed by officer-in-charge of Sonamura police station Tapas Das went to their house at Rampadapara on Sunday.
"We found the baby lying on a bed while her mother was missing. We took the child to Sonamura sub-divisional hospital, where doctors declared the baby dead. Post-mortem will be conducted soon," he said.
According to Das, Suchitra was later arrested from the village.
"Prima facie, it appeared that Suchitra strangled her child to death when her husband, Amit Debbarma, went out for work at a rubber plantation. During interrogation, she admitted that she wanted to kill the baby and elope with another man with whom she had an extramarital affair," he said.
