Seeing With One’s Own Eyes : Evidence the Hawaii Medical Examiner turned a blind eye to the death of Loretta Fuddy by Linda Jordan
The principal aim of an autopsy is to determine the cause of death when the cause of death is equivocal or unknown. It is a “strictly the facts ma’am” kind of procedure.
A Medical Examiner or Coroner simply reports what is “seen with their own eyes” concerning the condition of the body and organs after an autopsy. A review of the deceased’s medical history is also included in their assessment. When all is said and done they offer a professional opinion as to the manner of death based on the physical findings and medical history.
If you have ever read a Coroner’s report you know they are very dry. No ad-libbing or wild guessing, no emotion, just straight reporting and fact based conclusions about the state of the body. Lots of words and phrases like, “anterior thorax”, “usual lobular architecture”, “unremarkable”, “perirenal soft tissue”, “sclerae and conjunctivae”, “intact”, “coronary arteries arise normally”, “well-preserved follicular and trabecular markings”.
That’s why I was concerned by newspaper accounts of the Hawaii Medical Examiner’s reported cause of death for Loretta Fuddy, the former Director of the Hawaii Department of Health. What the medical examiner has released so far is heavy on the perceived emotion of Loretta at the time of her death and speculation about the condition of her heart.
Emotion and speculation are not things the medical examiner could have seen with her own eyes.
Some Background.
You will remember that Loretta Fuddy was the person who released photo copies of Barack Obama’s original, long form Certificate of Live Birth. She did this at Obama’s request and said that she hoped it would put an end to the “numerous inquiries” the Hawaii DOH has received to produce the document. Judith Corley, Obama’s lawyer, says she flew to Hawaii to collect this document.
Obama then posted the purported birth certificate to the White House website on April 27, 2011. It has since been proven to be an abject forgery. It was not a scan of a photo copy of an original document. It was a forged PDF file that never existed in paper form until someone pushed print.
Loretta Fuddy died after a plane crash on December 11, 2013. Just a month and a half prior she had been named in two affidavits filed in U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington. The originator of the affidavits had asked that a Grand Jury be convened to investigate Obama’s forged birth certificate and Fuddy’s role, if any, in its production.
Fuddy and her Deputy Director Keith Yamamoto had traveled to the island of Molokai that day on a work related trip. On their return flight the small plane they were riding in was forced to make an emergency ocean landing, fairly close to shore, after suffering a complete engine failure.
It was a very smooth landing according to the video one passenger captured. All nine passengers, including Loretta, secured their life jackets and calmly disembarked from the plane. In fact there was almost no sound as they exited into the approximately 70 degree water.
Within minutes after the forced landing a small plane flew overhead and survivors knew that help was on the way. Then, inexplicably, Loretta Fuddy suffered an equivocal death. A death of unknown origin.
Problems With The Autopsy: The First Cause Of Death Release.
Loretta was the only fatality, and a high profile one. Autopsies are to be performed as soon after death as possible. Preferably within 24 hours. It was reported that Loretta Fuddy’s autopsy took place two days after her death. Why wait two days? And if the autopsy was completed on December 13th, 2013 why were the results kept private for a month? Details from the autopsy report were not revealed until January 13, 2014. And scant details they were. The Maui Police Department, not the Medical Examiner’s Office, reported that Loretta Fuddy, “suffered a cardiac arrhythmia while floating in the water” and that Fuddy's “irregular heartbeat” was the result of stress brought on by the December 11 crash.
It is not possible to diagnose death by “cardiac arrhythmia”. It is something that can only be measured in a live person and there is no evidence of it after death. If someone had a medical history of cardiac arrhythmia it could be a good guess but a guess none the less.
And therein lies the rub. The Medical Examiners designation of death, cardiac arrhythmia due to stress, is in direct conflict with the known facts.
Loretta’s brother, Lewis P. Fuddy Jr., says that his sister was healthy, that she had no heart problems and that she was not a stressed or fearful person. He said that she was a very calm person and had to be given her job. His personal knowledge of his own sister directly controverts the medical examiner’s conclusion.
Passenger accounts of what transpired during the crash and after directly controverts the medical examiners conclusion.
“Clyde Kawasaki, the pilot, has said Fuddy seemed to be in fine condition while bobbing in the water after everyone left the airplane and waited for rescue crews to show up at the scene.”
'Everyone was real quiet. We hit (the water) and it was all about getting the belts off,' he said, describing how everyone started putting on life jackets and remained on the plane until it seemed to start sinking.'There wasn't panic or anything. It was very orderly,' he said. Phillip Hollstein
“Bobbing in the water, Hollstein noticed the pilot and seven other passengers seemed fine. 'I didn't want to sit out there bobbing, so I figured I'd take a shot at going to the shoreline.' He guesses the swim to the rugged shoreline took an hour and a half. He was surprised to hear later that one of the passengers, Hawaii Health Director Loretta Fuddy, had later died. 'She was doing fine out of the airplane,' Hollstein said”.
The video footage of the actual plane crash directly controverts the medical examiner’s conclusion. Loretta Fuddy was not screaming or crying. No one was. “The 2002 Cessna Grand Caravan's cabin starts to flood after impact - but everyone remains calm and eerily quiet as they leave the sinking craft.” “In the video, the passengers can be seen making their way out calmly.”
There is only one hearsay account that Fuddy needed to “relax” after the crash. KeithYamamoto purportedly told Rev. Patrick Killilea that he had held Loretta’s hand and tried to help her to “relax” but at some point she let go of his hand and was unresponsive.
The Second Cause Of Death Release.
Two months after the Maui Police Department revealed Fuddy’s cause of death the Associated Press (AP) sent out a short article with details straight from their own copy of the autopsy report which they obtained on March 10, 2014. Now, four months after her death, we learn this from newspaper accounts of the AP story.
*‘Autopsy report says Loretta Fuddy was “markedly afraid” after plane crash’.
*‘Details in the autopsy report of Hawaii's former health director who died after a plane's ocean landing revealed how traumatic the ordeal was for her.’
*‘The autopsy report obtained by The Associated Press on Monday said Loretta Fuddy was "markedly afraid" while waiting for help to arrive after the small plane crashed off Molokai on Dec. 11.’
*‘The report says 65-year-old Fuddy was a "rudimentary swimmer" who never swam in the ocean.’
*The autopsy said [Fuddy’s] acute cardiac arrhythmia was due to hyperventilation.
*Official autopsy results for late state health director Loretta Fuddy reveal she was a poor swimmer and never swam in ocean waters.
*According to the report, witnesses saw Fuddy exit the aircraft with her flotation device and [she] was “markedly afraid” while waiting for rescue personnel to arrive. She was pronounced dead after being brought to shore. (This is in direct conflict with first hand witness accounts reported at the time. Remember the pilot and passenger Hollstein both said Fuddy was calm and was doing fine and no witness in any newspaper account of the crash ever said Fuddy was “markedly afraid”. So where did this come from?)
*The [autopsy] report says reported ocean conditions included relatively calm five-foot waves that occasionally splashed over the face of the crash victims as they awaited rescue.
Listen to the words coming out of the medical examiner’s report: Loretta Fuddy was markedly afraid, it was a traumatic ordeal, she was a poor swimmer, she never swam in the ocean, water occasionally splashed over her face while awaiting rescue, ocean conditions included relatively calm five-foot waves. This is an autopsy report? Does this sound like a systematic external and internal examination of a dead body to determine if any abnormalities are present and are the cause of death? Where are the words that actually tell us the condition of her body and health? Why are the emotional, speculative words pushed to the forefront but the technical, factual descriptions are kept hidden? And why is this autopsy report filled with emotion and speculation in the first place?
The AP did not share a copy of the report which was said to be heavily redacted. It is important to note that attorney Orly Taitz made a public records request for the autopsy report on December 18, 2013 and has never received a copy.
Why did the AP get a copy but not Taitz? It is a public record subject to Hawaii’s Unified Information Practices Act Statue 92F. I requested one myself but seriously doubt it will be forthcoming . Is it only released to people who will beat the drum that Loretta’s death was caused by fear & hyperventilation?
A final point. One headline announcing the Maui Police Department’s release of autopsy details (January 13, 2014) said that Loretta’s death had been ruled “accidental”.
As of March 29, 2014 no one knows why the plane’s engine failed. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has yet to determine the cause of the crash so how can the Medical Examiner or the Maui Police Department rule Fuddy’s death “accidental”?
Closing.
The Medical Examiner’s autopsy report guesses at the cause of death for Loretta Fuddy. And sometimes, absent any clues from the body, that’s all you can do. However, I would wager in this case that most Medical Examiners would have gone with, “manner of death undetermined”. But what makes Dr. Harle’s guess most disturbing is the fact that it is in direct conflict with eyewitness accounts of Loretta at the time of the crash and in direct conflict with her own brother’s knowledge of her.
She’s clearly trying to make a square peg fit in to a round hole in spite of the facts.
Review all the documentation I’ve supplied. See it with your own eyes and then ask yourself three questions.
1. Does this autopsy report, what little we’ve seen of it, sound like an autopsy report?
2. Does the “markedly afraid” portrayal of Loretta Fuddy jive with the original eye witness accounts and the video?
3. Is the designation of death, by cardiac arrhythmia due to a fearful, un-calm, hyperventilating demeanor, supported by the description that Lewis Fuddy gives of his sister Loretta?
Read it again and let it sink in.
‘The brother of state Health Director Loretta Fuddy said his sister had no heart problems or pre-existing conditions that would have contributed to her death following a December plane crash off Molokai. "She was a healthy lady," Lewis Fuddy said Monday. "She handled stress every day as director of the state Department of Health. She solved problems under pressure. She was a very calm person." ‘ ."She wasn't an anxious person," he said. "To be head of the Health Department, you have to have some cool nerves."

If I possessed the film that Butter does I would claim myself a non-expert in frame by frame analysis and turn the film and all evidence I had over to a true professional in the field.(only after checking his credentials out with a fine tooth comb)I am simply not qualified enough to make any judgment on what may or may not appear in a frame to frame analysis.
That being said I would not be able to sleep until the results were in because where there is smoke.....
IN addition its almost naive to think that coincidence rules the day one more time with this regime. Nine people aboard a small plane and the only one to die is the one who had intimate knowledge of zeros BC,hard for me to swallow.
And you decided that in the ten days you have been here....
From the very beginning of when I started making public my findings on ANY of the Obama eligibility stuff, I wanted to hand the evidence over to somebody who could and would do something about it. I was just trying to be this little Who in Who-ville saying “yop”, in the hopes that somebody big enough to do something would hear the need and respond.
Those in law enforcement who are big enough to do something about it - the feds - are run by Eric Holder. Those in the media who are big enough to do something about it are the ones editing and pixelating in order to cover up the truth.
When the kings are all drunk with the power of the ring, the only ones left to fight it are the little hobbits. And that’s what I am.
Show me where Gandalf and Aragorn are, and I will happily hand ALL my stuff over to them.
What about Zullo?
Huma Abedin's father was working on this.
RC, you are correct that the Constitution gave more responsibilities to the central government. The states were more like their own countries, with their own currency, roads, etc and the nation learned that some things need to be centralized, for practicality. So the centralized government was authorized to handle those things.
But the Founders still wanted to be very careful not to put too much power into the hands of any one entity, because absolute power corrupts.
That’s why the Constitution enumerated the powers it was giving the centralized government and said it could not go beyond those bounds.
That’s why it said that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, which cannot be changed on a whim by any entity but requires a difficult process to amend. That was to keep the voters themselves from having unchecked power. Constitutional governance is a check on absolute power by sheer democracy.
That’s why it divided the duties of the centralized government into 3 branches, each independent of each other.
That’s why it put in checks and balances to each of the branches of government.
That’s why it immediately had the Bill of Rights to prevent government abuses of the people and to establish the principles of liberty - freedom of press, association, self-defense,religion, and the means to get redress for grievances without resorting to revolution, as well as the privacy of one’s personal effects and the right to a fair trial.
All along, the idea was to have somebody or something who - in very real terms - was in a position to put a stop to corruption when, not if, it arose. If any of those checks and balances refuse to function, it makes room for those who don’t want liberty and justice but instead want to gain an advantage over others, want to destroy this or that opposing group, or seek to do crimes and create anarchy.
When GW Bush was in the White House, the opposition wanted the government to work like it’s supposed to, to limit powers. When Obama is in the White House, the opposition wants the governemtn to work like it’s supposed to, to limit powers. It’s SO much like the Shiite-Sunni divide in Iraq. The progress that was made there was after too many Sunnis died at the hands of Shiites looking out only for themselves while fellow Shiites looked on, and vice versa. The Anbar Awakening was the realization that government needed to be NEUTRAL and committed to JUSTICE.
America needs an Anbar Awakening.
Marxists and radical muslims are really good at killing people, but not much else.
Satan's warriors, all.
Western civilization has become their playground and soon yet another one of their killing fields.
Had we only followed the rules and definitions we were given, instead of watering them down like spoiled children to suit our ever changing moods, we could have avoided this insane path to our destruction.
Of all we have to choose from, we've picked the wrong sort of history to repeat, imho.
He’s not federal; can’t compel production of anything.
Obama says he’s really good at killing...
He’s apparently honest once in a while, usually off camera while bragging about himself or something else he’s proud of.
It was Alito who shook his head and said, “Not true,” during the SOTU. He was sitting, not standing.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/politicolive/0110/Justice_Alitos_You_lie_moment.html
Not what I was getting at.
If you truly have evidence of shenanigans re the plane crash and Fuddy's funeral, I would think that Zullo would jump at the chance to commit resources to help you investigate this issue. After all, he was the one who got an expert to look at the PDF file of Obama's birth certificate, wasn't he? Maybe he could get a video expert to work with you.
What AZ crime would Zullo be investigating? And what would be the use of investigating it, when depositions and records could not be compelled?
Hawaii is sitting on the golden egg and they’re not going to budge.
I thought Zullo was going to take his information to members of Congress. I didn’t realize he was still thinking of putting forward an Arizona case. And if he is looking at involving Congress, then I think he would want as much relevant information as is possible. If Fuddy’s death is tied to the birth certificate, I would think that would add weight to the evidence he is assembling.
You’re right, I misremembered that.
I misremember all the time (but more often disremember).
Wow, none of these TALL building existed when I was there but remember busses going to Woolloomooloo???
Did he then promise you that he would be ruling that obamaScare is legit, hmmm, or he only left a hollow tooth as well???
Some where during slick Willy’s time I read that his VP, alBore, was on that same page that we were toooooo many human beings on our planet and needed to “fried”!!!
