AN EXTREME eater and TikTok star known for sharing videos of himself over-eating has died after struggling to breathe or stand.

Efecan Kultur, 24, had over 155,000 followers on TikTok and was well known as a mukbang streamer.

Muckbang is an online phenomenon where people watch, record and stream themselves scoffing super-sized quantities of food online.

Kultur shared videos of himself eating with his followers, while he chatted to them.

Kultur was hospitalised in December 2024 due to health problems as a result of his weight.

The 24-year-old could no longer stand up and suffered breathing problems.

He also suffered constant bruising which triggered mobility issues.

Bedridden and unable to breathe without a machine, Kultur was reportedly unable to visit his mum’s grave following her death a year ago.

Kultur was allowed to continue his treatment at home, where he passed away.

His funeral was held at the Celaliye Mosque in Istanbul province.

His body was buried in the Silivri Gumusyaka Cemetery.

Extreme eater, Pan Xiaoting, died last July after her stomach tore while live streaming a 10-hour-long food binge.

Xiaoting was known for broadcasting her marathon eating challenges, often eating for hours at a time.

According to the post-mortem examination, her abdomen was visibly deformed and her stomach was full of undigested food.

This indicated that her stomach could have burst, causing stomach acid and food to leak into her abdomen, the Mail reported at the time.
