Anorexic Model, Isabelle Caro, Has Died
December 30, 2010 1 Comment
An anorexic model, Isabelle Caro, famous for taking part in an anti-anorexia campaign in 2007, died on November 17th. She was 28-years-old.
She got famous for taking part in this campaign for which the posters were banned in some countries. She brought the debate of how skinny is too skinny to the forefront of the modelling industry.
She was 5 foot 4 inches and 70 pounds at the time of the campaign in 2007.
- I thought this could be a chance to use my suffering to get a message across, and finally put an image on what thinness represents and the danger it leads to – which is death.
She was right, in the end she died of acute respiratory disease, which it’s quite possible could have been a complication of anorexia.
Let’s hope her message helped get across the seriousness of anorexia and has helped some people to realize they need help before they end up like she has.
