Autopsy Results Reveal Cause Of Student's Death

Autopsy results bear out initial suggestions that anorexia led to the death of a 19-year-old Wayne State College student from Norfolk.

Amy Miller is deputy Wayne County attorney. She said Thursday that the doctor who performed the autopsy is awaiting some lab tests, but she said his preliminary findings are that complications of anorexia killed Hilary Pile.

Friends and family members had said Pile battled the eating disorder for years.

Her body was found Saturday morning in her room at the Wayne State dormitory that carried her family name.

Her great-great-grandfather founded the school. Services are set for Thursday in Norfolk.
