A 32 year old, 340lb woman died last Saturday when he intestines
ejected from her anus. She has been wearing a corset for months,
which has pressed her waist down to less than six inches. The
pressure finally caused her intestines as well as her uterus and
bladder to eject from her anus. She died instantly.
She had been hospitalized several times in recent months because she
had collapsed from lack of oxygen due to the corset causing her lungs
to partially collapse, and her heart unable to pump adequate blood
flow throughout her body, due to collapsed arteries and restricted
space in her ribcage for her heart to function adequately. The
doctors had warned her about the damage the corset was doing to her
body, but she resisted removing it.
Her death is being labelled as suicide.
