Had she landed on  her helmet, then her injuries might have been less severe.  AG]]> 2018-03-01 22:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/2030691/8g4ojncckcrd/wish/237216359 2030992 https://padlet.com/2030691/8g4ojncckcrd/wish/237221253 Burke died from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.

Had she lived after being on life support, her vocal chords and lungs could have been damaged.

As a result of cell death, neurological dysfunction occurs which can be anything from severe headaches to loss of motor function.

She would have to live everyday without being able to use certain parts of her body and this affects many everyday activities.
