After apparently foregoing water for over six years and just consuming fruit and vegetable juices, Ms. Samsonova died in Malaysia on July 21.
Her mother told the Russian tabloid Vechernyaya Kazan that Samsonova’s severe diet could have made her cholera-like disease worse, which finally killed her.
The influencer traveled around Asia for 17 years and has over 10,000 Instagram followers. Her family is presently dealing.
With bureaucratic obstacles in getting her remains back to Russia, even though the official cause of death has not been determined.
Vera, Ms. Samsonova’s mother, said that on the day of her passing, her daughter was scheduled to take a plane back to Kazan.
Disapproving of her daughter’s restricted eating habits, Vera had attempted to encourage her to switch to a more balanced diet, but her attempts had failed.
