Model Ana Carolina Reston, 21, has died from complications caused by anorexia. At 5 feet 8 inches tall, Reston weighed just 88 pounds. She had recently been fired from a modeling job in Japan for being too thin.

"Reston was not famous but she had worked abroad, including in Japan. Her agency, L'Equipe of Brazil, said yesterday it had sent Reston to a specialist in eating disorders after she lost her job in Japan for being too thin, but she missed her appointments."

Her death turns all eyes back to the fashion industry, which has been heavily criticized for using "ultra-thin" models at the risk of the models' health and even lives. Reston's mother issued a statement following her daughter's death, pleading with parents to take care of their aspiring young models. Learm more from TheStar.com.
