The PK challenges involve one-on-one battles in which influencers compete with each other to win rewards and gifts from viewers, and often involve punishments for the loser, apparently in this case, drinking Baijiu. His friend informed him that he has no idea at what quantity he consumed alcohol but he said that in the end, he finished three bottles before starting on a fourth. The Chinese media reported that he drank at least 7 bottles of Baijiu spirits, as per viewers, and was found dead 12 hours after his broadcast.
Reportedly, when his family found him, he was already gone and he did not even get a chance for emergency treatment. Shangyou News confirmed that he died because of excessive drinking and had been cremated that morning. As per the reports, Douyin does not allow drinking during live streams with penalties ranging from warnings to users being restricted from livestream competitions and being shown on the app. Previously, the influencer had been banned from the app for drinking issues, but he surpassed the ban by opening new accounts. He also had a history of filming himself taking part in similar contests involving alcohol and posting them on the app. Therefore, his demise has now sparked huge scrutiny of the safety and regulations of such apps.
