Sister models starve to death 6 months apart from each other

A teenage model has died of suspected malnutrition just six months after her 'size zero' sister starved herself to death on a diet of lettuce leaves.

Eliana Ramos, 18, was found dead in her home in Montevideo, Uruguay by relatives.

Preliminary indications suggest she died suddenly of a heart attack as a result of malnutrition.

Less than six months ago sister Luisel Ramos, 22, sparked a worldwide debate about 'size zero' models when she died of a heart attack moments after stepping off the catwalk at a show.

She had been eating nothing but lettuce leaves and Diet Coke for the three months before she collapsed.

The revelation comes in the middle of London Fashion Week, where size zero models have been banned. Madrid fashion week had already banned five models for being too skinny.

The death brings to three the number of models who have recently starved themselves to death.

The third happened last August when Ana Carolina Reston died of kidney failure on the eve of a photshoot.

She had been starving herself on a diet of apples and tomatoes.

The model, 21, had been modelling since 13 and at the time of her death she weighed just six stone.
