I wondered what a care home is also. I was looking for the article about last rites and haven’t found it yet but found http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/small-plane-crashes-in-water-off-molokai-hawaii/2013/12/11/6d269be0-62e4-11e3-af0d-4bb80d704888_story.html which also talks about Fuddy being taken to a “care home”.

OK, here’s the one I saw earlier, about “conditional last rites” because the priest didn’t know when she died. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/12/hawaii-health-official-killed-in-plane-crash/

That one doesn’t make sense either, though, because it says that one person swam ashore, 3 were transported by helicopter to Honolulu for medical treatment, and a plane took 5 people to Maui. So was Fuddy one of the 5 people who were taken to Maui?

“Coast Guard Petty Officer Melissa McKenzie said a Coast Guard helicopter rescued three passengers from the water and Maui fire crews picked up others. One person swam ashore.

McKenzie said the helicopter transported three people to Honolulu for medical treatment, while a Coast Guard plane took five people to Maui.”

One of the articles also said that they don’t know the cause of death for Fuddy.

I hope they don’t get some inexperienced pathologist to do the autopsy, like they did with JFK.

Where are you Loretta?

from your link:

Tom Matsuda, interim executive director of Hawaii's health insurance exchange, confirmed the death of Fuddy, who was on the board of the exchange. "I cannot even begin to convey what a terrible loss this is for Hawaii," Matsuda said in a statement. "I worked closely with Director Fuddy on the Affordable Care Act and came to know and respect her as a passionate advocate for public health and a warm, caring human being."

That's not an official announcement of death, is it? That's a comment from a colleague imo.

from your other link:

After the crash, Fuddy’s body was taken to a care home at Kalaupapa, where Killilea, the pastor of Kalaupapa’s St. Francis Church, said he made the sign of the cross on her forehead as she lay on a gurney surrounded by nurses and the distraught Yamamoto.

An autopsy was pending and the cause of her death had not yet been determined.

So that’s it for today. Eight were picked up, seven living, one deceased, and one swam a mile.

Thanks for posting those links, butterdezillion. I was busy yesterday and hadn’t time to find them again. She apparently was a devout Catholic and attended a “co-cathedral” (St. Theresa?) but not on Molokai. Another story says that five were treated on Molokai. As usual, the journalists can’t keep their stories straight. Confusion always aids The One.

Has she been cremated yet?
