    to die of cardiac arrest within 5 seconds of onset is remarkable.

    I didn't read the article if any, but . . . how would they determine this in a body fallen 160 feet???

    The coroner is a world class genius at coroning. Once he walked past a graveyard and coroned all 748 bodies without digging a single one up, all off the top of his head, and all exactly correct.

        “Died of cardiac arrest during her fall” lol. I’m no doctor, but to die of cardiac arrest within 5 seconds of onset is remarkable.

        I want to know how he knew that.

        Ultimately, everyone dies of "cardiac arrest." For her it was mid-air?

        Really?

          According to the Genus edition of Trivial Pursuit I played as a kid, everyone dies of lack of oxygen to the brain.

                Though any of these are only approximately true.

                I mean, imagine hugging a 500 megaton neutron bomb when it goes off. All of your cells are vaporized before any such process can materialize.

                Admittedly that is an exceedingly rare cause of death. :))

                  And yet metaphorically, that is exactly what Americans did when they elected Biden. Not so rare at all.

                        When you slice a heart at a post, you're looking clots and obstructions, besides cutting your sections for histological exam.

                        I don't see how in the timeframe specified they could make that diagnosis. I don't know of anything that would show on the post that could back that up, not after the severe trauma experienced from the fall.

                          I’ve never bungee jumped but I feel like if I were about to, I would check about 20 times that the rope around my ankles is connected.

                            I bungee jumped from a hot air balloon in 1991. I was connected.

                              How much insurance does the bungee jump business owner have?

                              Who insures those kind of businesses?
