According to Monarch, a gambling account sponsoring Miles Routledge (know as Lord Miles), the British war tourist has died 28-days into his 40-day fast.

Based Monarch's report, Lord Miles was over half way through a desert fast in Afghanistan when he was apparently taken to hospital where the hospital staff gave him a glucose IV.

"This never should have happened since he was 20+ days into a fast. His body went into shock and a few hours later he was pronounced dead at King Faisal hospital in Riyadh."

Lord Miles doing the 40-day fast as part of a high stakes bet. The online betting platform Polymarket has also collected wagers for Lord Miles challenge.

On Polymarket there was 69% chance of Miles completing his fasting challenge, that plummeted overnight down to 28%.

We are still waiting for verification of Miles death.

It's hard to take this announcement at face value for three reasons: 1) Lord Miles has faked his death before 2) there are wagers involved and manipulation can occur for financial reasons 3) Monarch is the only person to confirm his death we have yet to hear from friends and family.

Here is Lord Miles just two days ago, alive and well.

Many people are doubting the truth of these claims.

If Lord Miles is truely dead—that is terrible news and we would be greatly saddened by his passing. We hope and pray that Lord Miles is still alive and well.
