A 24-year-old extreme eater, who gained fame on TikTok, died due to complications from obesity, according to a report. Efecan Kultur, 24, well known in his native Turkey for his ‘mukbang’ streams, in which he would gorge on massive amounts of food — died on Mar. 7 after spending three months in the hospital due to obesity-related health problems, according to Turkiye Today, citing a post on TikTok.

Amassing both a mammoth weight and following, with millions of views on TikTok, Kultur was forced to stop streaming due to being bed-ridden with health issues, such as bruising and breathing difficulties.

Kultur last posted on YouTube eight months ago and his TikTok feed featured its last mukbang on Oct. 15, with the streamer announcing in the video that he was eschewing extra salt because he was on a diet.

I keep telling people width=”600”

That will keep it from going off of most screens

Now, admittedly, for Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama,
I sometimes add an additional 66 pixels to the width... 😁😁😁

Remember when all the fatties tried to push the “healthy at any size” stuff and then Covid came through like the Grim Reaper with his scythe and said, “No, fatty, you’re not healthy.”

It is very difficult for me to have any respect for obese people.

Yeah but he got some likes, so it was all worth it I guess.
