“The psychiatrist added she felt "out of her depth” with the situation and was “struggling to obtain Emma’s actual weight”.
In November, the teenager was admitted to the intensive care unit at Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham.
She died a month later of organ failure and with a body mass index (BMI) of 10.
The NHS says the ideal BMI for an adult is between 18.5 and 24.9.“

I don’t understand why this person is dead, even if she had somehow miraculous fooled professionals who were weighing her. Even from the moment she was in intensive care (for a month), perhaps more could have been done. There’s something missing here. The article blames the patient and infers sympathy upon the community psychiatrist.
