UK man who beat rare cancer died after using toxic frog secretion in cleansing ritual

Kristian Trend, a 40-year-old wellness coach from Leicester, died last month after taking Kambo, a toxic substance made from the mucus of the giant leaf frog. He was found unwell at his flat in Clarendon Park and was rushed to hospital where he later died. Toxicology tests are currently underway.

According to the Metro, Kristian had previously beaten Burkitt lymphoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. Diagnosed at 23, he was told he had up to six months to live without intensive treatment. He spent four months in hospital before recovering and later dedicated his life to holistic wellness, travelling through India and Asia.
