Yes, cardiac arrhythmia can cause death. But you really can't be anywhere near sure of that in this case unless you had her hooked up to an electrocardiogram or some kind of heart monitor just before she died! (You can be pretty darn positive that was NOT the case.)
Furthermore, were there any forensic pathologist(s) in on the autopsy? And what were the toxicology results - are they all complete yet? Some drugs or poisons can induce arrhythmias.
All we have is a statement about how she died but no full corner report?
Having died of Cardiac Arrest, I know that I was revived almost immediately by a Defibrilator. I guess there are no defibs in Hawaii, esp. among the medical/rescue personnel who came to help.
An early victim of Obamacare? If so, justice was done.
PS: If you’re a Republican activist and get sick in Hawaii, you’re on your own for the most part.
Indeed.
The whole thing is very strange. Kaluapapa “Airport” is a tiny, isolated single runway on the kaluapapa peninsula on Molokai. It is on the site of the infamous leper colony where Father Damian, a humble Belgian priest, devoted his entire adult life to the lepers. The peninsula is surrounded by mountains and ocean, and is accessible only by foot, mule, or this tiny airstrip. There is no commerce to speak of, and visitors have to book a long time in advance because access is so limited. There are no “red light cameras” on Molokai, because there are no traffic signals.
Is it not strange that this would occur in such an isolated, remote, “unsupervised” place?
Google “Kaluapapa, Molokai” for an overview of this area.
An aerosolized toxin sprayed briefly in her face could induce cardiac arrest..
