According to sources
from Reddington hospital, where Goldie died last night, the likely
cause of her sudden death is pulmonary embolism.
According to an article on the New York Times website, “Life-threatening
blood clots and flying have been linked for more than 50 years, but a
new study of business travelers confirms the risk, particularly for
those who take long flights or fly frequently.
“Immobility is considered a major factor behind the condition, called deep vein thrombosis.
“People who fly four hours or more, the study found, have
three times the risk of developing clots compared with periods when they
did not travel.
“D.V.T. occurs when a
blood clot forms within the large deep veins of the body, usually in the
leg. If untreated, part of the clot may break off and travel to the
lungs, where it can cause a pulmonary embolism, a potentially fatal
condition.”
A report on National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s website, noted that “pulmonary embolism is a very serious condition. It can damage the lungs and other organs in the body and cause death.
According to close
friends, the singer and former Big Brother contestant, was a frequent
traveller and had complained of stress in the past weeks, but insisted
she was fine.
Her corpse was deposited **is it at or to** at the LASU General Hospital this morning.
