Sort of. Starving can lead to depreivation. In depreivation, people tend to binge eat and that can lead to purging, which would be bulimia. It's a stretch, but it can happen.

Which is more deadly anorexia or bulimia?

Both are deadly, it depends on how long a person suffers. A person with anorexia is in a state of self-starvation and will die due to the effects of starvation. A person with bulimia binges and purges, purging is deadly, people sometimes die on their first purge, others do it for years without dying. It's a gamble. Personally I would say bulimia, though I am NOT dismissing the dangers of anorexia, they both lead to death, but from my experience, bulimia is more dangerous.
