Anorexia makes another victim
A couple of weeks ago I told you about Hayley Wilde, the woman who defeated anorexia. Well, unfortunately not all the ladies suffering from this dreadful disease were as lucky as Hayley was.
Rosemary Pope, a professor, weighing less than 5 stone had died after torturing herself with a diet of sweets and coffee. She was just 49. Due to her strict diet for over 30 years her heart shrunk to the size of a child’s.
Since 2006 Rosemary was working as a Pro Vice Chancellor at Bournemouth University and she managed to hide her disease for over 30 years, but a few months ago her body began to fail.
In the beginning of 2008 Rosemary contracted norovirus, a stomach virus which affected her even more than anorexia. She became thiner and thiner and soon she collapsed in her house.
