Anorexic Model Starves Herself To Death

Brazillian fashion model Ana Carolina Reston died from complications related to anorexia. She was admitted to a hospital last month due to kidney failure and died this past Tuesday.
Reston weighed only 88 pounds (40 kg) and was about 5 feet 8 inches tall . Doctors consider this weight normal for a 12-year-old girl no more than about 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall.

Her mother says that Reston ate only apples and drank only water during the last few months of her life. Even still, she would purge immediately after ingesting any food.
"Take care of your children ... no money is worth the life of your child, not even the most famous (fashion) brand is worth this," her mother, Miriam Reston, told O Globo newspaper.
