She was getting better. It was the years of starving that caught up with her. She did not abuse drugs so to speak-just laxatives. Her heart was too weak.
Karen Carpenter was addicted to laxatives for a time, but not at the end of her life. She had conquered her eating disorder, which makes her death even more tragic. She had decided to do the talk-show circuit and make her story public, but died before that happened. She wanted people to know anorexia could be cured.
RoyalStuart... I have to say this.. I have been a fan of the Carpenters for almost 15 years and I have taken the time to resreach Karen's life both professional and private.. She did not have a drug problem.. She never touched any hard drugs. Yes she abused laxatives but that is part of having an eating problem. Karen passed on because of the wieght she gained near the end of her life. Her heart couldn't take the added stress.. Thanks.
read her death certificate.karen died from the years of starvation.yes she abused ipecac but only in the last years,she also abused laxatives.she didnt have a drug problem she had anorexia.anorexia, starvation killed the poor girl.end of story
no karen did not she never ever touched ipecac . besides that hello some1 would have heard her throwing up and would have stopped her. besides when would she have had time to throw up with her scedule . i know the truth of what really happened to karen and the truth is she had a very fast heart attack because her heart was weak and it gave out on her .
"Emetine cardiotoxicity implies that Karen abused ipecac syrup, an easily obtained emetic medicine that is intended for people to take who have accidentally swallowed a poisionous substance"
i'm kinda sad that my teacher said that karen carpenter had died from an ill will whats that i think is that when she was on TV she seens fat and she over did her diet till she's very skinny sad...
pffffffffffffffffffffff et Karen ?.....0.
