Preliminary autopsy indicates anorexia

Preliminary autopsy results indicate that Hilary Pile, 19, died of complications from anorexia, said Amy Miller, deputy Wayne County attorney.

The full autopsy has not been completed, Miller said Thursday, and tests still are being done to determine exactly how Pile died. The autopsy was performed at St. Luke’s Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa.

Pile, 19, of Norfolk, Neb., was found dead Saturday in her dorm room at Wayne State College. Friends said she had struggled with an eating disorder for several years. — Elizabeth Ahlin
