Ora Mae Magouirk, the 81-year-old Georgia widow at the center of a contentious family fight over her medical treatment and right to live, (link broken in original) died of a stroke today at approximately 8 a.m. Eastern, at a nursing home in LaGrange, Ga., according to her nephew, Ken Mullinax of Birmingham, Ala.

Mullinax told WorldNetDaily that his aunt's condition had improved considerably since her ordeal last month, but took a turn for the worst Wednesday when her vital signs began to weaken. On Sunday an apparent stroke hit her, causing her to have difficulty with speaking, and her blood pressure dropped to 60/30.

She died surrounded by family, including her brother, A.B. McLeod, 65, of Anniston, Ala., who had spent eight hours with her Sunday, Mullinax said.

"Occlusion of aortic branch vessels from aortic dissection may result in stroke, renal failure, mesenteric ischemia, lower extremity ischemia, and paraplegia (caused by obstruction of the spinal artery)."

What part of MAY don't you understand?

So you feel that people with 6 mos. or less are dead already. Fine. Don't pin that on me. I think she had more quality time left.

Yes, that comes through so clearly in your posts.

How alive is she? Mullinax knew, just like everybody else should have, that Mae was diagnosed terminal (less than 6 mos. to live). Post #56

The judge has already called his accusations false.

Give me a source other than one that uses him solely. In his letter to TerrisBlogSpot Judge Boyd uses the phrase "half-truths" but he never specifies what are half-truths, what are complete falshoods or anything else specifically. By saying "half-truths" he seems to contradict his own assertion (and your position) that all of Ken's "accusations" are false.

You still seem to be divided as to whether Mae died of a stroke due to her aortic dissection or Ken Mullinax killed her.

I've asked you a bucket load of direct questions that you have chosen to side-step. Go find yourself an ounce of sincerity and then get back to me. Until then.

Flash Gordon replies: That's OK. I got triple coverage this way with my main link and the two mirrors to the relevant article --plus the article itself, making the post a triple threat. Take care,

By the way, you still didn't answer the question.......

Okay I am going to copy and paste, apparently you can't comprehend sentences....

Ken Mullinax FAILED to tell you all that his mother (Mae Magourik's sister) shared ownership in some rental properties with Mae and that he and his mother had not been sending Mae her share of the money made off these properties for a long time! Poor Mae and called and asked for her share of the money and they never would send it! It is many peoples' opinion that Ken and his mother wanted Mae kept alive for the very reason that they knew if she died, they would have to buy out her share of these properties,and they didn't want to have to shell out the money!!!

I have no idea who RGSinich is....but just because we share the same opinion...is that wrong, who don't seem to think people who share your opinion are wrong....seems you and Ken have a conspiracy going on....quit being childish. If you can't take feedback then don't lash out, KEN!!!! I think Tigerseye is Ken....he certainly hasn't posted anything since Ms. Mae past and Tigerseye is the only one on his side...that is not too embarrassed to post anyway, since his actual motives have come out.

Take a minute...put down all of your dictionaries and encyclopedias and refer back so that I don't waste my time having to search for something you want to know.

Amazing this dear lady survived as long as she did considering what she suffered through.

"You also seem to be saying that an aortic dissection is the same thing as an aortic aneurysm. Are they?"

Nope

Not that I feel obligated to answer all of your slanted questions but I did go back to see which ones I ignored. I've surmised that one or more of the following must apply: #1 You have me confused with someone else. #2, your bucket has a leak and the relevant unanswered questions never got posted. Or most likely #3, I answered you with the truth and you don't have the ability to digest truisms.

I think Tigerseye is Ken...

You caught me. You two are just too smart for me. 8^O

[LaGrangeResident]

Well I think most here agree with me.....it seems logical. He hasn't posted under his name and you are the only one defending him, he hasn't made an attempt to clear his own name personally. You are just too smart for us....LOL!!!!

[TigersEye]

You haven't posted under your name either, Beth.

[LaGrangeResident]

My name is Kristen.....not Beth. I was born 12-25-1981 and I attend LC. I am about 13-14 years younger than Ms. Gaddy. However in middle school, she was my social studies teacher. I have nothing to hide, I told you who I am, admit who you are.

I'm a former carpenter and an herbalist from CO living in VT with my wife who I met on Free Republic in August 2001.

The reason no one else is responding on this thread is because it has been all but dead for days. It was started on the 17th. Most threads die within a day or two.

[LaGrangeResident]

Seem to try to act like you know it all to be half way across the country. Not that you will listen, but get more facts before trying to post "the truth" on this or any further topic.

[TigersEye]

Kiss my grits! Who do you think you are telling me what I should say or whether I should say it? I'll post what I want to post.

You have posted nothing and identified yourself as no one, as far as this forum is concerned, that makes any credible refutation of what Ken Mullinax has reported. He is backed by Mae's sister and brother as well.

I will leave it to whoever comes back to this thread and reads it to decide who sounds rational and polite and who sounds like they're blowing smoke.

[Politicalmom]

Don't let the Obligatory Insider Trolls get you down. Some sicko does this all the time.

Well, I saw this thread this afternoon, and witnessed the "gang" do their usual troll tactics.

I also read with interest the threads that were on Free Republic when this issue was new and breaking.

You have most certainly held up well and most certainly are not the one blowing smoke.

[TigersEye]

Thank you both for your kind words of support. I will not let dissemblers, shape-shifters or name-callers who construct sentences that sound like something from Lil' Abner get me down. Thanks again! ; )

Excellent post, gww1210!!

The general public needs to know the dangers Living Wills. I was saddened and sickened to read the account of the brain injured young man, whose parents starved him, even though he shook his head *NO*, to their plans.

Okay I have identified myself....I only gave you pretty much everything but my social....and for Mae's Brother and Sister backing him....greed. I don't give a crap if I am a troll or not, that is the most stupid analogy I have ever heard, I thought it was stupid when I was 12 and I think it is stupid at 23. I was just trying to help you see both sides, but got pissed because you and other people continue to follow the words of a coward, who still has yet to post any comment on why he didn't show up to the funeral or viewing after making such an ordeal over a private family matter. It is all over now or is it, lets see how many close minded people can find a rebuttal to this, I am sure there is a logical explanation behind everything.....LOL. Go get your "TROLLS" come back and try to gang up on me so that I can have a good laugh!!!!! I know it makes you all ssssooooo mad:)

[TigersEye]

Does Beth know you are posting all of this tripe? I bet she'd like to. BTW you still sound like a twelve year old. : )
