Ilanit (Hila) Elmalich, 34, Israel, model, anorexia, Nov. 14
Israeli model Ilanit (Hila) Elmalich, who once worked for the Israeli branch of the Elite modeling agency, died Nov. 14 of complications from anorexia on her 34th birthday. Her death has sparked a global debate about pressures on models and young women to be thin - or too thin - and the dangers associated with such societal pressures. The 1.72 meter (5 feet-6 inch) former model weighed 22 kilograms (49 pounds) at her death.
