For some reason, the autopsy did not determine a cause of death... I find that amazing. If it were a gallstone leading to pancreatitis, or shot through and perforated the bowel... they couldn’t miss that.
Diag. gallstones, by deduction, Xrays or scans?
I wish I knew if the meds were acid to dissolve the stones (if chol.), if she got a shot earlier directly into the site to dissolve them, or if she only got pain meds. If she was dehydrated (did they hook her up to IVs before, doesn’t seem they sent her to an ICU either), was she jaundiced (did they give Vit. K), nausea, fever? Was she constipated (a la Crohn’s, hence a lot worse), or the opposite?
I can’t find the tox yet from the autopsy... will link when found.
From the article:
According to preliminary coroner's findings, the cause was a perforated large bowel, which caused an infection. Experts say the condition can bring about death fairly suddenly.
