Very few anorexics will die as a result of anorexia in the sense of direct starvation. Instead, most death will occur due to organ failure (most commonly the heart), seizure, or rupture stomach / esophogus (as a result of binge/purge). Dying through nasusea or vomiting can also cause dehydration, which can be very serious or fatal if not treated properly. Also, many anorexics do not feel nauseous or sick as a sign of the fatality of the condition.
