Ulitzer95 12,382 Posted September 3 Obi Ndefo died from heart failure related to an eating disorder, as confirmed by his sister. To be specific, he had orthorexia, a disorder whereby people become obsessed with only eating healthy foods (and in turn it usually becomes more like anorexia because they became fearful of eating almost anything at all). 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
