Overview

• The Cut’s investigation, cited by UK outlets on Oct. 1, details how 27-year-old Karolina Krzyzak died in December 2024 in a Bali hotel after adhering to a raw fruit–only diet, with malnutrition reported as the cause.
• She checked into Sumberkima Hill resort on Dec. 8, 2024, requested only fruit be delivered to her room, appeared severely emaciated, and needed assistance to reach her accommodation.
• Resort staff say they offered to call a doctor and she declined; three days later, staff found her dead after a local contact who ran a raw-vegan café asked for a welfare check.
• Friends and past accounts describe years of anorexia, a brief inpatient stay in 2018, a relapse into restrictive eating, and an estimated weight as low as about 3.5 stone before her death.
• The reporting highlights raw-vegan and fruitarian influencers who promoted fruit-only practices, while one online friend cited unverified conditions including osteoporosis and albumin deficiency; the resort manager noted such fruit-only requests are not unusual in Bali’s wellness scene.
