Duluth - AS A nation of overweight Americans gorged themselves on Thanksgiving Day turkey and pecan pie this week, an emaciated 15-year-old girl was being admitted to a Wisconsin hospital where doctors found she weighed just 15lb.
The unnamed girl was pronounced dead shortly after her arrival at the Mercy Hospital in Janesville late on Wednesday night. Police said later that the severely malnourished girl had been bedridden for some time.
