Made fashion industry for the death of the teenage daughter Fiona Geraghty responsible

In a scathing attack on the fashion industry, he said: "The only class of person who is not here, I feel, is directly responsible for what has happened is, the fashion industry.

"I know from personal experience that there are the problems of eating disorders in adolescents, especially girls, not before the 1970s. This period in the fashion industry and magazines promoted models of thin and slim figure.

"I ask, in particular magazines in the fashion industry in order to stop pictures to the very thin girls. A magazine, I think, Vogue, recently decided not to do so. It is, I fear, to control a growing problem and to they will go there. "

The girl's parents had said that the investigation of their daughter bulimia by taunts about his weight caused the school. The headmaster of King's College be denied that Fiona had been bullied.

The coroner said he could not be sure that Fiona had the intention to take life as it would be a cry for help.
