Meegan Hefford’s family told Australian media they found half a dozen different containers of protein supplements in her kitchen.

Doctors believe that’s what ultimately lead to her death.

It was later discovered that Hefford had a rare genetic condition called Urea Cycle Disorder.

The protein products she consumed several times per day were killing her.
