Due to her habit of eating hair, the woman’s stomach was completely full and the tuft of hair had completely taken the form of indigestion. Due to which the woman was vomiting continuously and was not even able to eat food. According to Dr. Nirmala Gehani, in such a situation the woman could have died.
