“and will be interesting to see what the autopsy shows.”
Large perforation in the large bowel.
How did that occur?
-How did that occur?-
Several possibilities - diverticulitis would be a likely choice. Perforated appendix, ulcerative colitis, ischemic colitis, and cancer are all possibilities. Less likely in the US would be certain infections, such as typhoid fever. There are also cases with swallowed objects, like a toothpick, causing perforation.
I have no idea how it occurred. That is all the article stated.....big perforation in the large bowel.
I would think perontonitis would be the actual death. I had a sister who died of that after child birth because of a perforation in her lower intestine.
