A man has died after reportedly filming himself swallowing poisonous centipedes and geckos alive.
The Chinese vlogger, named only by his surname Sun, live-streamed himself carrying out the stomach-churning challenge, which he had hoped would gain him more online followers.
The 35-year-old is said to have been found lifeless by his girlfriend when she went to check on him at his flat in the eastern city of Hefei.
He was later pronounced dead.
Sun had also been filming himself drinking large amounts of alcohol, as well as eating mealworms for the platform DouYu, where he had 15,000 followers.

Another death attributed to social media.

“but his last video will get millions of views.”
It helps to read your own posts.
Meanwhile as we previously reported, a "happy-go-lucky" father died in 'absolute agony' after eating a gecko as a dare.
OK then, gecko is right off the menu unless it's properly cooked.
How do you know he wasn’t a democrat?
If only we could get democrats to copy Mr. Sun.
Was this Sun Ting Wong, Sum’s brother?
That’s funny right there!
How do you know he wasn’t a democrat?
i don’t, but he’ll be voting democrat from now on.
I’m almost surprised it’s not a Florida Man story. :P

Gone, to where the Sun never shines.
Some people cannot turn down a dare.
A small ego or sense of worth, who always needs a huge amount of attention and affirmation.
“You like me, right? How much? More than this?
How about more than even THIS?”
More accurately termed 'vanity media' imho.
Count how many times/day you see someone 'driving' with a phone glued to the side of their head.
I'd hazard a guess that at least 75% of such yakking involves utterly inane, totally unnecessary shite easily saved til the idiot got home/parked.
I'd hazard another guess that, these days, at least as many (if not more) traffic injuries/deaths are caused by vanity media than drunk driving.
Nature strikes back!
The fact he did this at age 35 yrs old attests that some never grow past their stupidity.
