So let me get this straight. Reeve was suffering from a serious blood infection brought on by bed sores that ultimately caused the heart attack at his home. He never regained consciousness at the hospital after arriving there, and Kerry says he had a long cell phone call with Reeve's either Friday night after 10:30 P.M. or sometime Saturday before this serious infection caused cardiac arrest. Ya, that makes perfect sense to me. HEAVY SARCASM!!


Reeve publicist Wesley Combs told reporters the American actor, 52, died in a New York hospital on Sunday.

He said in a statement Reeve went into a coma on Saturday after suffering a heart attack at his home during treatment for a pressure wound.

"The wound had become severely infected...Reeve was admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital on Saturday evening and never regained consciousness," the statement said on Monday.

Reeve has been confined to a wheelchair after suffering multiple injuries, including two shattered neck vertebrae, when he was thrown from his horse at an equestrian event in 1995.

Doesnt mean that they all occured at the same time. It doesnt say when he got the bed sores which got infected. The infection then got into his blood which allowed his heart to get infected, causing a form of heart failure. Once the heart was damaged it didnt make any difference whether he still had an infection or not. The infection could have been cured months ago. Once he had heart failure he was more prone to heart attack. BTW, I have had infections in the past with fever of over 102 and I was able to pick up a telephone and make calls. I was even able to go to the drugstore and wait in line for antibiotics. I think you are too invested in finding a scandal where none may exist.

Also, Kerry said he heard the message on Saturday. That doesnt mean the call was left Saturday. You got to believe that someone like Kerry receives a lot of calls and that he doesnt always return them immediately. Dont run off to the media and be looked at as a conspiracy kook.
