More Anna Nicole

I thought they would release the autopsy reports on Anna Nicole Smith today, but either I missed the big announcement, or they didn't have them released today, after all.
I did see one brief sound bite from some guy in a doctor's white coat announce solemnly, "A person does not die suddenly from lupus." And that was it. Nothing followed up, no more explanation.
And he is correct. My point in an earlier post was that if the woman was running a 105 degree fever, why wasn't she in the hospital? Why did those around her seemingly ignore her soaring fever and let her die? She didn't die suddenly from lupus, of course. There were bound to be earlier signs of some lupus activity, such as lung involvement (coughing, aching in the pleura, etc.) or kidney involvement (retaining fluid) or just plain aching in the joints, all the time, despite taking aspirin or other OTC products.
Maybe she had taken so much of the drugs her own judgment was cloudy and she couldn't recognize the signs of a serious problem developing over a few days or hours.
But her retinue surely could have seen the signs that she was seriously ill, despite her protests. I didn't want to go to the hospital a couple of years ago, but my son saw the handwriting on the wall, and by the time I reluctantly wobbled into the ER, I was more than ready to have somebody save my life. A rational decision, don't you think? And my son certainly saw the signs of trouble and bullied me into climbing into the car for yet another trip to the ER. And you know what? That was his job. To help his mother. If I had been married, I would have expected my husband to do the same thing. Evidently, those around Anna Nicole Smith didn't give a darn about her. It would have been too inconvenient to have their meal ticket out of commission, pardon my saying so.
But I have looked at this situation with a jaundiced eye ever since she died. And please, somebody, tell us what happened to cause her death. "A Broken Heart" sounds so.....dramatic, and she was mourning the loss of her son -- "beloved son' is the phrase I kept hearing every time his name was mentioned -- and lupus and stress are not compatible. A lupus patient should try to have as little stress as possible, and along with her son's unexpected death, she had just given birth to her baby daughter, which in itself is a stressful event. A double-whammy; a birth and a death in close succession.
But again, we should keep in mind that lupus does not cause sudden death. There were signs.
But nobody was willing to see them.
