Heather O'rourke died from perforation of the colon. This was caused by the insertion of an "object" into her rectum that punctured the lining of the colon. This event allowed the bacteria that live in the colon, "normal flora", to migrate into the peritoneal cavity. The peritoneal cavity is a sterile environment and when that environment is compromised by opportunistic pathogens, such as bacteria, it becomes fertile ground for rapid proliferation which allows bacteria to enter organs and the blood stream.

SO….yes, she died of septic shock which is a multi-organ failure that if not treated promptly, and even if it is, will lead to cardiac arrest and death very quickly…>24hrs!

Understand this!!! The "condition" they claim she had is not possible because people born with that condition have severe symptoms at a VERY young age and either die from it or have that section of their intestine removed.

What happened to her was of sudden onset with death in a very short amount of time…I am guessing she was raped and her tiny body could not handle the size of the perpetrator. Now, if the perforation did not occur at the time of the assault, the damage caused was followed by inflammation which we all know leads to swelling and pain. What happens when your bowel swells? You become obstructed! The obstruction leads to back up of stool which further stretches the intestinal lining beyond capacity which then would have lead to the perforation.

Once the perforation occurred and the dirty contents of the intestine were allowed to spill into her peritoneal cavity….she only had hours to live…Septic shock happens w/in hours and if prolific enough, no antibiotics could save her!

So…when they say she died of "cardiac arrest" and "sepsis" it is TRUE…what they inherently leave out is what lead to overwhelming sepsis that cause multi-organ failure in a healthy, beautiful, precious little girl???
