Luke Damant not dead, debunks rumour himself
Popular Australian travel vlogger and adventurer Luke Damant recently sent the internet into a frenzy with a satirical post that humorously suggested he had "turned into a cheese paratha" while attempting a Guinness World Record. The post, which featured an "In Loving Memory" tribute-style image, quickly gained traction, leaving fans both shocked and amused before realising the comedic twist.
The post comes after rumours surfaced on social media, where he was supposedly found dead in Afghanistan, days after he crossed the border from Pakistan.

In his Facebook post, Luke wrote that he was attempting to break the Guinness World Record for eating the most cheese parathas in one hour. He claimed that after reaching 14 parathas in 30 minutes, he struggled with the 15th, failed to chew properly, and miraculously transformed into a cheese paratha himself.
"Authorities are still trying to figure out how a man can possibly turn into a cheese paratha, but it is believed that the old saying is true… You are what you eat," Luke jokingly wrote.
Despite the dramatic phrasing, the post ended on a lighter note, announcing that a new video from Afghanistan would be released on Friday.
The post sparked a wave of reactions from followers, with many initially confused but later laughing at the clever wordplay. Comments ranged from expressions of mock concern to playful tributes, with fans appreciating Luke's signature sense of humour.
"This scared me for a second, but I should've known Luke would pull off something like this," one fan commented.
Another follower added, "I almost cried until I realised I was mourning a paratha instead of a person."
Known for his adventurous spirit and engaging storytelling, Luke Damant has built a strong online presence with his travel vlogs across Asia and beyond. His ability to connect with audiences through humour, cultural exploration, and personal experiences continues to make him a fan favourite.
Despite the tongue-in-cheek tribute, Luke Damant is very much alive, actively travelling, and still making content. If anything, this viral post has only cemented his reputation as a travel vlogger with an unmatched sense of humour.
