《Drag Race Thailand》第二季泰国明星班迪特去世，享年38岁

The RuPaul's Drag Race franchise has lost a member of its global family, as EW can confirm that Drag Race Thailand season 2 star Bandit has died at age 38.

《paul’s Drag Race》的全球大家庭失去了一名成员，《娱乐周刊》证实，《Drag Race Thailand》第二季明星班迪特去世，享年38岁。

More details surrounding Bandit's death were not immediately available, though several sources close to the situation tell EW that Bandit died Tuesday in Thailand, nearly five years after first appearing on Drag Race Thailand's second season in January 2019. Bandit — a skilled fashion designer known for dazzling looks on the runway — ultimately placed fourth on the show, finishing behind eventual season winner Angele Anang.

关于班迪特死亡的更多细节尚不清楚，但几位知情人士告诉《娱乐周刊》，班迪特周二在泰国去世，离2019年1月第一次出现在泰国第二季已经近五年了。班迪特是一位技术娴熟的时装设计师，以在t台上令人眼花缭乱的造型而闻名，最终在这场秀中排名第四，落后于最终的赛季冠军安吉尔·阿南。

"We're all completely lost because Bandit has been a light. He has taught me. I would not be the same person I am today without Bandit teaching me about fashion," Drag Race Thailand cohost and UK vs. the World contestant Pangina Heals tells EW via phone, shortly after learning about Bandit's death. "He's been such a visionary, such a giver. He's always telling other people, 'You can do this' or, 'Do that to be better,' in terms of making sure other people have their fashion game on. He was such a funny person, such charisma, such magnetism, and without him, all of us don't know what to do."

“我们都完全迷路了，因为班迪特是一盏明灯。他教会了我。如果没有班迪特教我时尚，我就不会是今天的我。”在得知班迪特去世后不久，泰国Drag Race联合主持人兼英国vs.世界选手Pangina Heals通过电话告诉EW。“他是这样一个有远见的人，这样一个给予者。他总是告诉别人，‘你可以做这个’，或者‘做那个可以做得更好’，以确保其他人也能跟上时尚潮流。他是一个如此有趣的人，如此有魅力，如此有吸引力，没有他，我们都不知道该怎么办。”

Pangina adds that she wants Bandit to be remembered as a "professional person," after working with the fashion-minded queen for years on a variety of designs. "Every single person who knows about the news today has been unable to function. I want her to know that she's so loved, and we are still in shock."

潘吉纳补充说，她希望班迪特作为一个“专业人士”被人们记住，因为她与这位时尚的女王合作了多年，设计了各种各样的服装。“每一个知道今天新闻的人都无法正常工作。我想让她知道，她是如此地被爱着，我们仍然很震惊。”

In addition to Pangina, Bandit's longtime friend and fellow Drag Race contestant, Kana Warrior, shared a statement online, expressing her sadness over her friend's death.

除了Pangina，班迪特的老朋友和同组飙车选手Kana Warrior也在网上发表了一份声明，表达了她对班迪特去世的悲伤。

"I respect everything, respect you and your decision," Kana wrote in Thai on her Instagram Story, according to a translation provided by the social platform. "Miss you so much."

根据社交平台提供的翻译，卡纳在她的Instagram Story上用泰语写道:“我尊重一切，尊重你和你的决定。”“很想你。”

Angele also posted a message to her Instagram Story, writing that she was "sending love" to her season 2 sisters amid news of Bandit's death.

在班迪特去世的消息传出后，Angele还在她的Instagram Story上发了一条消息，写道她正在向她的第二季姐妹们“送上爱”。

EW has reached out to Thai authorities and Drag Race Thailand production company World of Wonder for more information.

《娱乐周刊》已经联系了泰国当局和泰国Drag Race制作公司World of Wonder以获取更多信息。

Bandit is the fourth Drag Race contestant to have died since the franchise began airing nearly 15 years ago, following the deaths of season 2 contestant Sahara Davenport in 2012, season 8 and All Stars 3 queen Chi Chi DeVayne in 2020, and Drag Race UK competitor Cherry Valentine in 2022.

班迪特是该节目开播近15年来第四位去世的飙车选手，此前第二季选手撒哈拉·达文波特于2012年去世，第八季和全明星赛第三季女王奇奇·德瓦恩于2020年去世，飙车赛英国选手切莉·瓦伦丁于2022年去世。
