The man reportedly streamed every night before his death in 2019<\/h2>\n

A vlogger died after reportedly eating centipedes and geckos alive during a live-stream.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to the rise in platforms such as\u00a0Twitch<\/a>, Kick and even\u00a0YouTube<\/a>, we’ve seen some pretty wild challenges take place during live-streams.<\/p>\n

This was particularly the case during the\u00a0Covid-19<\/a>\u00a0pandemic when we didn’t have too much to do other look at a screen all day long.<\/p>\n

However, not all challenges are good fun and one streamer tragically lost his life in 2019.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old man, who simply went by his surname of Sun, lived in east\u00a0China<\/a>, and reportedly filmed himself drinking large amounts of alcohol and eating centipedes, geckos and\u00a0mealworms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Xinan Evening News reported at the time the streamer’s account was followed by 15,000 people on DouYu and he would host live-streams every night.<\/p>\n

Sun thought he would try and bolster his following with a spinning wheel challenge.<\/p>\n

The wheel was marked with items including centipedes, geckos, mealworms, vinegar, eggs and beer – so items more appealing than others, obviously.<\/p>\n

Sun would eat whatever the wheel landed on while live in front of the camera.<\/p>\n

However, two days after the stream,\u00a0police<\/a>\u00a0said they found the man unconscious in his room and without vital signs.<\/p>\n

They also discovered his computer was in live-stream mode, while those investigating the scene reportedly discovered food items used in the stream on his desk.<\/p>\n

Sun’s videos were immediately removed DouYu, a Chinese site comparable to YouTube.<\/p>\n

Police did not specify during their investigations what kind of geckos and centipedes Sun ingested. However, eating any kind is never a wise move.<\/p>\n

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that reptiles such as geckos can be carriers for salmonella and warns people to be careful even when just handling them.<\/p>\n

It also advises pet owners to thoroughly wash their hands after coming into contact with geckos while also keeping their animals away from areas where food is being prepared.<\/p>\n

“Don’t kiss or snuggle with reptiles and amphibians because this can increase your risk of getting sick,” the CDC states.<\/p>\n

“Persons who think they might have become ill from contact with reptiles should talk to a health care provider.”<\/p>\n

Police ruled out foul play in the Sun’s death but were investigating the cause of his passing.<\/p>\n
