woman dies after she lights cigarette - Oxygen tank

Post by vvindows10 »

Ok I know that it is just too soon, but I am going to put this out there anyhow. http://www.omaha.com/news/metro/omaha-w ... 8ca72.html

Why would the police schedule an autopsy? What would they be hoping to find? And will this be ruled suicide or a smoking death?
in short Why? Why? Why?

The decision to do an autopsy is not the decision of the police. The county coroner is the person who makes the decision.

Its depressing that the human animal can be so stupid and addicted and SELF CENTERED that it will knowingly smoke dangerously close to oxygen tanks and lines and risk the lives of the very people trying to help them. :(

Addiction has absolutely no connection with stupidity.

Classic VA injury. Burns from flaming O2 nasal canula.

Sad to go this way. At least all my patients got were canula melting burns.
