Related to alcoholism, most likely.
If we still had our republic, I wouldn’t be suspicious.
But since Deep State can now off people with impunity...
Probably fully vaxed
It sure would explain the "performance issues" that triggered her resignation, and their possible (probable?) relationship to her death.
Article also lists eating disorder....plus brain bleed with long recovery. Was performing badly. She had many problems...proximate causes of death unmentioned....sad case...RIP...
You are correct. She had an accident in 2020 where she fell down the steps of her home and had a head injury. The alcohol was probably to self-medicate.
In her own words:
“Dear MCAO Family,
The work we do at this office is hard and I am not immune to its effects. Below is a statement that will be released to the press today but I wanted to personally share the message about my recent struggles. Seeking professional help to deal with stress and anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of. Those who are suffering in silence should be able to ask for help. As a society, we must talk about it.
As County Attorney, I have focused this office on implementing programs and policies to assist those in the criminal justice system suffering from substance abuse disorder. I have revised plea policies to reflect a treatment-first approach. I have championed a home detention program for individuals facing misdemeanor DUIs. We have created and implemented a robust diversion program grounded in evidence-based treatment and eliminated financial barriers previously associated with this opportunity.
Stress and anxiety do not discriminate based on age, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. I am fortunate to have access to resources and a supportive network of friends and family to help me address my issues. I encourage those in this office who may be struggling with similar issues to reach out to supervisors or take advantage of the resources afforded to us as county employees. You are not alone.
Thank you for your patience as I navigate this path.
Best,
Allister Adel
Maricopa County Attorney”
