About death and honey.

I read not long ago about a curious custom, by which an aged person volunteered (or so it is said) to end his days by being fed nothing but honey. After some time it suffused the body, and the person began to sweat honey even while starving to death. Then the body was immersed in honey to effectively mummify it, and after some period of time (there will surely be something about this online), the honey-cured flesh was sold as medicine.

Probably somewhere in the east Asian region, I'd guess.

Nah.
The myth of the "mellified man" was created in 16th century China; they said it was an Arabic custom. It was all just a legend, a hoax, sensationalism, BS, whatever you prefer to call it, it was not a real custom.
Mummy extract (mummia) was sold, in many places, throughout the Middle ages and until about the 19th century.
Nothing to do with honey though.
