The coroner called today at 5:30pm to give us the results of the post-mortem. The ''offical'' cause of death was the severe brain damage.
What is more distressing for us is that they could not pin point the cause of the cardiac arrest other than to say that Kayleigh had the flu, had developed bronchitis and was obviously very tired. The asthma was just a contributing factor and was not the cause of her going into cardiac arrest. The coroner basically said that all the factors listed caused Kayleigh's heart to be stressed to the point that it stopped. He also said we needed to take all the other kids to the cardiologist to have their hearts checked out, just in case.
We are getting the official report next week . . . .
My heart still breaks for you guys. Fingers crossed for you that the rest of the kids are ok xoxoxo
