Social media influencer Nihal Candan, who has been struggling with health issues for some time, has been hospitalized once again. Candan, who was released from prison after being diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, has seen her health condition deteriorate significantly. It has been learned that Candan, who was admitted to the hospital weighing 29 kilos, continued to lose weight rapidly and was moved to intensive care after her weight dropped to 25 kilos.
Candan, who initially refused treatment, agreed to intensive care intervention following the insistence of her relatives and her worsening condition. The medical team stated that the young influencer's life remains in danger and that she is at risk of organ failure.
Nihal Candan, who was held in prison for approximately 5.5 months on charges of fraud and money laundering, had been released due to her health problems. However, it was reported that as her illness progressed, she began to refuse food entirely and is now unable to consume any nutrients at all.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED IN THE HOSPITAL, FOLLOWED BY A REQUEST FOR GUARDIANSHIP
Her mother, her sister Bahar Candan, and her close circle have not left the young woman's side. A birthday celebration was even held in her hospital room recently. However, despite all the moral support, Candan's health condition continued to worsen.
Following the latest developments, the Candan family has taken action. They have applied to the Ministry of Justice to request the appointment of a legal guardian so that the young influencer's treatment can continue even without her consent. The application requests that her mother, Umut Candan, be appointed as her guardian. An official decision regarding the process is pending.
