Student died taking ‘Russian Roulette’ slimming pill after texting pal: ‘It won’t matter if I’m skinny if I’m dead’

A BULIMIC student died after an online dealer sold her "devil's cut Russian Roulette" slimming pills containing toxic chemicals used to make World War One bombs, a court has heard.

He is accused of buying the powder from a chemical factory in China, and selling it on as tablets to people around the world, including Eloise, who suffered a "most distressing death" in April 2015. Eloise, from Shrewsbury in Shropshire, who had been diagnosed with the eating disorder, bulimia, "became at least psychologically addicted to and dependent on the chemical" after she started taking it in February 2015, the court was told.

The student was described as having a "morbid dread of fatness" and was "simply unable to control herself when it came to [DNP] consumption".The court heard that on March 10 2015, Eloise was admitted to Wrexham hospital after collapsing, and texted a friend saying: "I f***ed up. A and E. DNP overdose. Feel so f***ing stupid. I knew I could not control my eating disorder well enough to take them safely, I knew it.

I'm not going to help you' English is the widely accepted 'middle tongue' for many different languages, to refuse to learn it while actually resident in a predominantly English speaking nation is pretty ignorant.Not saying anger was the correct response, a simple 'I don't speak Spanish' & a shrug would do If you can't speak English in a nation that mostly speaks English than it's that person's problem for not learning the language.
