The Hague: A Dutch teenager traumatised by a childhood rape died at home after refusing food and drink but was not euthanised, a minister and a clinic said on Wednesday, dismissing "incorrect" media reports. Noa Pothoven, 17, who became famous after writing a book about her long battle with anorexia, severe depression and posttraumatic stress disorder, died on Sunday. Pothoven said in a final Instagram post that she had "lost the will to fight".
