In the comments at the blog that posted the original article, another Indonesian story is cited. That story said that she died from hardening of the arteries, which made her neck arteries burst. Sound plausible? An Asian woman in her early 50s—and we’re supposed to believe she had a fatal stroke brought on by high cholesterol? Maybe her neck arteries did burst, but perhaps not on their own and not because of plaque build up.

I wonder if she was buried or cremated. I wonder if it is the custom of Asians to cremate if that is what happened. If she was cremated and it isn't the custom that would be telling. If she is buried it would be interesting to have her exhumed if that were possible.

It is all to coincidental and strange including that the supposed trip never took place and that Obama has never to my knowledge mentioned this close childhood adopted sister, not even in his tell all books. They slept in the same room and he wouldn't even leave the room without her. That is close.

He never mentioned her. Yes, there’s the nub of the problem. She did exist. She did live with the Soetoros, I have NO doubt. She WAS talking to the Indonesian media, becoming quite the local celeb. That made his trip to Indonesia all the more uncomfortable for him because he never mentioned her, he didn’t mention her in his book (of course, somebody else wrote it, so that’s not surprising), and he would go to Indonesia with a planeful of OUR media, who would encounter THEIR media, and learn about Ms. Lia. So, tell me again WHY he canceled the trip and NEVER rescheduled it.

Muslims do not cremate the dead. At least not Muslims in Indonesia.

She was never his adopted sister. She was a servant with duties to be his companion.
