I'm afraid my information is limited to what I read in the papers in regards to the court proceedings. As far as I am aware there is no public record of any deaths that are attributed to following UM. My own opinion on the matter is that following such a severely restricted diet, being isolated from family and friends, and potentially ignoring serious medical conditions would most definitely have a detrimental effect to ones life.
The Parliament of NSW looked into misleading health-related information in 2014, and made special mention of UM. They stated:
"While there is little anecdotal evidence to suggest actual harm caused by these treatments, concerns were raised that patients may forego seeking proper medical advice and care. Two patients who were undergoing therapies at Universal Medicine were independently diagnosed with cancer and bronchiectasis respectively, and required proper medical intervention in order to be properly treated."
