Teen with anorexia 'failed by every NHS body' before death A teenager who died weeks after leaving for university was failed by "every NHS organisation that should have cared for her", a review has found.
Averil Hart, from Newton, Suffolk, died of a heart attack caused by anorexia in Norwich in 2012.
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) has found her death could and should have been prevented.
The NHS services involved say changes have been made, with one saying it accepted the report's findings. BBC News
