Anons…I was reading the autopsy and it is suspicious. The ME said it was caused by hitting her head after a fainting spell due to mitral valve prolapse, or otherwise known as floppy mitral valve or heart murmur. 2% of the population have this and most present asymptomatic without any issues in life. Apparently, the majority of those who have severe mitral valve prolapse, symptomatic, are men 50 and older. It rarely becomes a significant problem. This theory is sketchy due to her age and physicality.
Another interesting note…she had a small egg shell fractures about 1/2 inch in the right forehead area. A contusion and deep scalp hemorrhage around that same area. Another fracture began above her right ear and hairlined across her head to the other side…basically the report said she landed on the right and the fracture splintered across, brain bounced…hemmorhage on left side shifting brain to the right.
I can understand how the blow happened to the right side of the head, but what about those egg shell fractures and contusion to the right forehead area? The main fracture was above the right ear area. The most striking issue to me was a posterior occipital deep scalp hemorrhage. This is the back of the head. Where did that come from??? Seems to me her head bounced around a bit??? I'd love to see crime scene photos of this. Does anyone have the police report from the scene??
