An overeating incident while livestreaming to her Chinese audience led to the death of a prominent streamer in the country.
Streamer Pan Xiaoting passed away on July 14 after preparing one of her regular livestreams for her fans. She was just 24 years old.
Xiaoting kept her fans amused with mukbang, a kind of video content in which the author eats a lot of food—sometimes unhealthy food—and posts the films online.

Xiaoting allegedly participated in severe eating challenges before her death, according to local media. One of these tests included eating nonstop for almost 10 hours.
