The New York Post reported that a 39-year-old vegan influencer named Zhanna Samsonova had passed away due to starvation, supposedly as a result of her dietary habit of strictly consuming raw vegan foods. Samsonova was known among her followers for regularly promoting raw foods through her social media accounts.

Ms Samsonova’s mother stated that the illness which ended her daughter’s life was similar to cholera, although the specific cause of death was not disclosed. She revealed to Vechernyaya Kazan that she believed Ms Samsonova had become exhausted due to her vegan lifestyle, leading to her eventual death.

Samsonova’s family is awaiting a medical report and a death certificate that will ascertain the official cause of her demise.

Last year, vegan Florida mother Sheila O’Leary, 38, ended up with a life sentence due to the fact that she had deprived her 18-month-old child of solid foods and only fed him fruits and vegetables, resulting in the infant’s death from starvation. This situation would not be the first instance of someone passing away as a consequence of an all-raw diet — something which Samsonova could unfortunately suffer from.
