VERMILION, Ohio - A man who shed 85 pounds off his 280-pound frame in less than four months to try to get into the Army died, in part, because of extreme dieting, a coroner ruled.

Glenni "Glenn" Wilsey V, of Vermilion, began the diet before he talked to recruiters in December and died earlier this month, 7 pounds short of his goal.

The Army said it was investigating and couldn't comment on whether recruiters coached Wilsey in his weight-loss regimen.

The 20-year-old's mother, Lora Bailey, said recruiters gave her son advice and encouraged self-induced vomiting.
