    Diabetes 
    • Hypoglycemia- common in diabetics 
    • Stroke- Thick blood due to sugar as seen by A1c readings and oral cavity sugar evidence 
    • Heart attack- High blood sugar 
    • Kidney failure- Kidney Necrosis evident due to high sugar and water content rendering kidneys unable to filter blood
    • Ketoacidosis- Evidence of ketones from autopsy
    • Pulmonary edema- thickened blood and high blood pressure as a result 
    Sickle Cell
    • Stroke- clotting in blood due to sickle cell clumps 
    • Acute Chest Syndrome
    • Oxygen Depravation- inability of cells to carry oxygen due to sickled cells  
    • Organ Necrosis- clotting of sickled cells in organs blocking blood flow 
    • Infection- clots not allowing appropriate white blood cell flow, preoccupying white blood cells 
    Heart Disease 
    • Heart Attack (MI)- High LDL reading and irregularities in electrical signals of the heart 
    • Blood Clot- High LDLs 
    • Kidney failure- Renial artery narrowing 
    • Coronary arterie desses- occluded coronary artery with stent 
    • Oxygen deprivation- Pace maker
    • Mitral Regurgitation- echocardiogram video
    • Pulmonary Edema- high blood pressure and LDL readings   
    • Heart Failure- Enlarged left ventricle and mitral valve issues as well as occluded coronary artery 
    • Stroke- high amounts of LDL as well as high blood pressure
    • Sudden Cardiac Arrest- History of arrhythmia such as PVCs, tordas de pointes and prolonged Q-T intervals. This is Also supported by the high levels of a hormone that is associated with damage to the heart muscle and low electrolyte counts contribute to the dysfunction of the heart muscle that is proved by ischemia throughout the heart tissue
    Infectious Disease
    • Kidney Failure
    • Sepsis

When EMT's arrived the home owner, Anna Garcia, was found dead in her front hall entryway. Anna Garcia is a 38 year old hispanic woman who lives alone with her dog. She died August 25th at 7:00am in her home's foyer. She was discovered by police at 11:00am that day.  ]]> 2018-04-03 17:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/emyates/j5n75gax6ppv/wish/248233605 Theories for Manner of Death emyates https://padlet.com/emyates/j5n75gax6ppv/wish/248559258 From of crime scene and the clues provided:
    Suicide
    Possibility of a drug overdoes and presents of a gun and the location of the injury corresponds to the manner of death
    Natural causes
    Anna was mysteriously found wearing a sweater despite the 90' heat outside and 72' degree heat inside.
    -All of her various medical conditions could have led various, lethal complications
    Murder
    • Anna may have attacked in her home by Lucy, Anna was hit by the Lamp then died of blunt force Trauma  
      • Lucy's hair and possable footprint  at crime scene
      • Lamp at crime scene
      • Disagreement in business giving motive 
    • Alex Garcia killed Anna with gun (Pistol whipping) and died. Then Alex planted drugs to make it look like overdoes
      • Fingerprint at the crime scene
      • last to see her alive 
      • may have stayed the night and not left like he said
      • Gun at crime scene 
      • Syringe at scene but no Drugs in system
      • Beneficiary of Anna's life insurance and needs it, especially with baby on the way.
    • Erica Piedmont killed her out of jelousy over Alex
      • Blood type of blood spatter found at crime scene matched that of Erica suggesting she may have bled 
      • Later disproved from DNA analysis 
    Accidental
    Anna stepped on a nail, bled out, then fell back onto the cart and died of head trauma 
    • Nail at crime scene
    • Blood spatter and pool of blood as well as blood on cart  
    • Head injury 
    -Drug overdoes due to location of blood splatter presents of pills and syringe and cart that the woman may have fallen on in addition to the vomit

    -Victim had been in to see the hostiple realitivly prior of her death
    -Medications for pain were found at the scene which corrisponds to testimonies of back pain radiating to her sides
    -Anna had not been taking the antibiotics prescribed
    -A diabetic, blood sugar and A1c reading suggest she was not taking good care of the issue. 
    -Evidence of Ketones in urine found in in autopsies
    -Pacemaker and stent in heart. Year prior many issues of cardiovascular disease were discovered and many more appeared in her later autopsy
    -Anemic due to sickle cell may correspond with the lack of oxygen found from her autopsy
    - Fluoroquinones and macrolides were found in her blood
    -Pradofloxacin and erythromycin, prescribed for Anna's dog, were found in her kitchen; this explains the antibiotics listed above found in her blood
    - It is likely that Anna took both antibiotics either accidentally or in an effort to treat the UTI; these exacerbated her prolonged QT, leading to sudden cardiac arrest.

This includes the pronged Q-T intervals and tornadoes de pointes from the 6.1.2 autopsy report and her PVCs and Ventricular Tachycardia as seen in her 4.2.1 medical history sheet. In addition to blockages being a possible cause of cardiac arrest her vast-occlusive crisis from 6.1.2 and 80% occluded coronary arteries from 4.1.2 support this.  High levels of a hormone that is associated with damage to the heart muscle and low electrolyte counts contribute to the proof for the dysfunction of the heart muscle. Also supported by ischemia throughout the heart tissue that is provoked by a oxygen deprivation of the heart tissue associated with cardiac arrest. 
    The prolonged Q-T interval was observed in the medical history report made when she was treated for a sickle cell crisis shortly before her death.  
    Substances that contributed to her death were two substances called Macrolides and Fluoroquinolones. These medications were not prescribed to her, they were prescribed to her dog for a skin infection.  These antibiotics are known to prolong the QT interval, and contributed to the sudden cardiac arrest responsible for her death. ]]>     2018-05-18 17:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emyates/j5n75gax6ppv/wish/262010411
