Morbidly obese TikToker famed for ‘mukbang’ has died aged 24

A morbidly obese TikToker known for sharing videos of himself binge-eating has died aged 24 of weight-related health problems.

Efecan Kultur, who boasted 155,000 followers on TikTok, was well known in his native Turkey as a ‘mukbang’ streamer.

Mukbang is a type of online broadcast where a content creator will consume varying amounts of food while chatting to the audience. It has become a global trend since the mid-2010s.

Efecan, who died on Friday March 7, had been hospitalised since December 2024 due to health problems as a result of being overweight.

He could no longer stand up and suffered breathing problems as well as constant bruising due to his size, which triggered mobility issues.

Bedridden and unable to breathe without a machine, he was even unable to visit his mother’s grave after she reportedly died one year ago.

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

His funeral was held at the Celaliye Mosque in the Buyukcekmece Celaliye Neighbourhood, in Istanbul province, before his body was buried in the Silivri Gumusyaka Cemetery.
