From my (very limited) understanding of starvation, after you have "eaten" away most of the energy reserves in your body (muscle, fat) your body starts to break down various organs until you go into organ failure; if the daughter was in the later stages of starvation and her kidneys/liver failed it might be fatal.
Honestly, this doesn't surprise me at all. I know someone who started working for the police (not as an officer) and she has been telling me more and more disturbing stories about how awful a lot of parents really are ... Its disturbing to hear stories of crack/meth addicted parents who neglect their children while high and only pay attention to them in order to pimp-out their young children to pedophiles to feed their addiction, and even if they get caught they're children are only temporarly taken away from them; realistically these children stand no chance of ever having any sort of "normal" life.
The more and more I learn about the negative sides of addiction, the more disturbed I am when I see television/movies/videogames which (in some way shape or form) glorify drug abuse ...
