Efecan Kultur, a popular Turkish mukbang influencer with over 150,000 followers, tragically passed away on March 7 due to complications caused by severe obesity. Kultur gained fame for live-streaming himself consuming massive quantities of food, with his TikTok videos often amassing millions of views.
Local media reported that Kultur became a well-known figure in Turkey for his eating-focused content, which showcased his impressive food consumption. His extraordinary appetite and large physique drew significant attention, building him a loyal fan base. However, his excessive eating habits also led to critical health issues.
Since December 2024, Kultur's condition had deteriorated, prompting his hospitalization. He spent three months under medical care before being discharged to continue treatment at home.
During this period, he relied on a ventilator for survival. Unfortunately, his health continued to decline, and he passed away earlier this month.
Kultur's final live stream was on October 15, 2024, during which he mentioned plans to start dieting.
Following this incident, the Turkish government has issued warnings to young people about the risks associated with mukbang culture. Authorities are reportedly working on legislation to restrict social media access for individuals under the age of 16 in an effort to combat such trends.
