I thought I remember him saying that Anna had blood in her stomach. Does anyone remember that and the significance?
GRACE: Dr. Perper, I wanted to ask you something about the fact that there was blood in her stomach and no pills in her stomach. I`m trying to figure out, if she had taken a quantity of pills, how long would that take to metabolize, so that there would be no sign of it in her stomach?
PERPER: Well, when the pills disappear from the stomach, they are not metabolized from the body, they are just absorbed into the body system. Usually, it depends on the amount of pills. It depends on the amount of fluid in which the pills are present.
But in this particular case, you look very carefully, there was a very small amount of blood in the stomach, which we relate to terminal shock, which occurred shortly before death. There were no pills in the intestine which are coming out of the stomach. But this doesn`t exclude the possibility that we are going to find some drugs or medication or toxic substances in the blood. The question is going to be, What`s the significance?

Perper said no significance to the blood in her stomach--it was not unusual.
I remember it... no explanation was given,.
