Weren't they dying from diseases also affecting the general population? Diseases that are no longer rabid due to medical advancements like vaccines etc. I remember in an university course that there was a lot of tuberculosis, meningitis, measles etc in residential schools but also in the general public during that era. The rates probably higher in these schools from neglect etc. I know my grandparents and great grandparents all lost siblings from these diseases and child mortality was a lot higher than compared to today.
Purposefully malnourishing children in the name of research isn't just neglecting them, it is straight up and directly murdering hundreds of them.
