A 19-year-old man in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, died of anorexia on Monday, Modern Express reported.

The man, Zhang Jian (not his real name), was a college student who was diagnosed with anorexia two years ago. Although he was more than 1.7 meters tall, the student weighed only 30 kilograms after becoming ill.

Zhang's mother said he kept looking at himself in the mirror, and always weighed himself after eating.
