The tearing of Burke's vertebral artery caused intracranial hemmoraging--bleeding within the cranium. This type of injury can cause serious brain damage quickly and can be life-threatening.

The brain stem, located at the bottom of the brain and inside the back of the skull was denied the required supply of blood. The brain controls breathing and heart function, essentially shutting down her heart.

There are 4 major blood vessels that bring blood to the brain; the two anterior vessels are the carotids, and the two posterior vessels are the vertebral arteries. Burke sustained injury to one of the vertebral arteries, reducing blood flow to her brain cells.

After Sarah suffered a ruptured vertebral artery, she went into cardiac arrest- a sudden cessation of function of the heart. Burke's heart stopped beating and she was unable to breath on her own.

She soon went into cardiac arrest due to intracranial hemorrhaging. EMTs performed CPR, but she remained without a pulse or spontaneous breathing. This caused severe irreversible damage to her brain due to lack of oxygen and blood.

The fall caused her vertebral artery (one of the 4 major arteries that bring blood to the brain) to rupture, so she had surgery to repair the damage.

She was put on life support as she could not breath on her own and therapeutic hypothermia to protect her brain from damage. She was later placed in a medically induced coma.

After nine days in the hospital, Sarah Burke died, resulting from the lack of oxygen to her brain.
