[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read an article that Karen died from an overdose of a drug called emetine - which had a detrimental effect on her body after years of anorexia. Never knew this til today. I was always under the impression her heart gave out after years of anorexia. [/quote] This is such a weird and uninformed post. She died of emetine cardiotoxicity which was the direct result of her weakened cardiac state due to anorexia and her taking syrup of ipecac to make herself vomit, which she was doing as a symptom of her anorexia. She died of complications from anorexia. How is this not clear? [/quote]
