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.

Another incident of alleged insult to Islamic prayer reported in Belthangady
case lodged against 47 individuals
Belthangady: Another incident involving individuals allegedly dancing indecently, dressed in a denigrating manner, and insulting the Azan (Islamic call to prayer) has come to light under the jurisdiction of the Venoor Police Station. A case has been lodged against 17 accused persons and 20 to 30 others who were allegedly involved in the act.
Based on a complaint filed by Mohammed Rafiq, a resident of Poyyegudde house in Padangady village, a case has been registered at Venoor police station against Savya residents Vasantha, Rajesh, Harish, Peradi residents Dayanand, Ranganath, Mohan, Shamit, Ravi, Ramesh Kulal, Suresh, Ashoka Kulal, Dhanush Haradottu, Harish Banthottu, Ramesh R.K, Suresh Barottu, Pramod, Prakash Peradi and 20 to 30 other individuals.
A case has been registered under Section 353(2) along with Section 3(5) Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 for disrespecting Islam, Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic prayer Azhan by wearing Muslim attire during a 'Purusha Kattuna' event on April 14th.
A video of the incident is reportedly circulating on various social media platforms. In the purported video, a group of individuals can be seen wearing traditional Muslim attire and allegedly insulting the Azan by dancing indecently during a 'Purusha Kattuna' (a ritualistic dance performed by men of different castes, typically marking the end of agricultural activities) event held in Peradi near Venoor.
This incident follows a similar episode reported just days ago during a Purushara Puja ceremony, where Islam was allegedly disrespected. A complaint had already been filed with the Venoor police regarding that incident.
Leaders from the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) had also approached the Venoor police and submitted an official complaint, and demanded immediate action against those who are responsible for creating unrest in the society by wearing Muslim attire and hurting religious sentiments.
The Venoor police have now registered a case following widespread outrage over the alleged video denigrating Islam.
