A rising star with the Boston ballet has died suddenly, and her efforts to
stay thin may be the cause.
Heidi Guenther was 22 and stood five-three.
She weighed about 100 pounds at her death.
The Boston Ballet acknowledges it told the dancer to lose weight last
year-- but denies its standards are extreme-- and says it told Guenther
recently to try to gain some weight.
Tests are underway to determine the cause of death-- but officials say the
dancer's push to lose weight, and a possible eating disorder, are suspected
factors.
