Hillary has precisely the opposite condition: looks alive but has a stone-cold heart.

Amazing story! I have been a volunteer at Parkland Hospital's ER-we averaged about 600 patients per day--I saw some amazing stuff, but nothing at all like this.

My guess is that the heroin killed this demented young addict, while the co-administered overdose of cocaine kept her heart beating after the rest of her poisoned body was rigor mortis rotting away.
To: 60Gunner
Thanks for the ping. Fascinating account.

blood had already settled into her back and bottom.

But her heart was still beating.
I wonder what her ECG looked like...

Amazing story. And what an idiot the patient was, dying young and completely unnecessarily. Life is such a precious gift, and she threw it away with both hands.

Your post brings back memories (most,but not all of them unpleasant) of my 20 year stint in a major hospital's ER. I'm very,very glad I don't do that any more.

You, sir, are one hell of a storyteller. I mean that with the highest respect. Save this one for the ages somewhere.
