I just saw the movie. And followed intensify when it happened. I firmly believe after beg refreshed by the film that the incident was medical.: abs do get samples mixed up. The child words something wrong and cant see IMO indicate (mini stroke) I had one last year and let me tell ya all – those symptoms are it. It was awful. I could not walk in a straight line, (but certainly knew sidewalk and huge efforts to stay on it! my vision was weird, I did not pass out etc.
The notion that an individual can be impaired to the point that vision becomes that impaired, in all likelihood is a medical impossibility – the individual would pass out – stop breathing, and not be able to sit up driving position.
Alcohol poisoning
- Unconscious or semi-consciousness.
- Slow respiration (breaths) of eight or less per minute or lapses between breaths of more than eight seconds.
- Cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin.
In the event of alcohol poisoning, these signs and symptoms will most likely be accompanied by a strong odor of alcohol. While these are obvious signs of alcohol poisoning, the list is certainly not all inclusive.
What You Can Do To Help:
- If you encounter a person who exhibits one or more of the signs and symptoms CALL 911.
- Do what you would do in any medical emergency—call immediately.
- While waiting for 911 emergency transport, gently turn the intoxicated person on his/her side and maintain that position by placing a pillow in the small of the person’s back. This is important to prevent aspiration (choking) should the person vomit.
- Stay with the person until medical help arrives.
- If a person appears to be “sleeping it off” it is important to realize that even though a person may be semi-conscious, alcohol already in the stomach may continue to enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. The person’s life may still be in danger.
- If you are having difficulty in determining whether an individual is acutely intoxicated, contact a health professional immediately—you cannot afford to guess.

0.25 BAC: All mental, physical and sensory functions are severely impaired. Increased risk of asphyxiation from choking on vomit and of seriously injuring yourself by falls or other accidents.
She was supposedly at around........................................... .19:
0.16-0.19 BAC: Phosphoric predominates, nausea may appear. The drinker has the appearance of a "sloppy drunk." (she did not on tape at all – at all!)
0.20 BAC: Felling dazed, confused or otherwise disoriented. May need help to stand or walk. If you injure yourself you may not feel the pain. Some people experience nausea and vomiting at this level. The gag reflex is impaired and you can choke if you do vomit. Blackouts are likely at this level so you may not remember what has happened.

Dying produces alcohol, husband admitted the night before they drank some, and she might have had some alcohol in her blood stream from the night before, but that kind symptom described by child on phone – really could not be from active slamming 10 shots in the couple of hours between the CCTV footage and the crash.
What appears to be basic lifestyle, (her cod stuff, on time, responsible, involved with kids stuff, mind boggling organization skill set – does not really sound like an individual at that stage of addiction as far as alcohol goes!
A broken vodka bottle in a car filled with suitcases, coming from vacation, certainly sounds more like – vodka bottle in a car filled with suitcases, coming from vacation,!
Observes reported that she was not all over the road - but actually very orderly ()! in terms of being in lanes etc – that too does not indicate sloppy drunk, but can mirror stroke I could not walk straight, but I certainly knew what the side walk was, and indeed did really stay on the sidewalk with much difficulty. That does sound more like her more confused than so drunk. Anyone ever see a drunk stay perfectly in lanes! A sloppy drunk?
She probably did smoke a bit, for tooth before leaving, in my younger years I partied, and never did dope make me unable to command a motor vehicle! IMO our societies (hey its changing) regarding pot is observed. Its only folks that have never done so that have all these perceptions of its impact on people. I would rather pass a stoned driver than a drunk one any day of the week!
The clerk in the store did not indicate, although interaction brief, she suspected a slobbering drunk – they cant have it both ways – its medically impossible.
Moreover she was not driving on the right normal way home which would indicate confusion. I was confused during my TIA.
So with what we know, the only real thing, could be that we are too believe, that an individual, for years has indicated tremendous responsibility capability we would have to say, that a mom, with a bunch of kids in her car, had to totally slam 6-7 shots of hard booze pretty close to wreck.
With the intensity of the crash it would be reasonable to assume that the body was not moved, and gotten to medical examiner in a quick time frame which would give the body time to generate alcohol after her death. (It would not be 6- 7 shots but if there was some from the night before still draining out mixed in with alcohol in death – that makes sense) Or from the wreck, it probably would be reasonable that she was pretty mangled, a broken vodka bottle could result in some straight alcohol in one of her wounds.
The lady at the campground spoke to her before they pulled out, for someone to hours later be at that level, would reek, and appear somewhat impaired at that point – wherein a hangover would not indicate any of that behavior. I have never hears of a hungover person unable to see!
Intense pain (tooth, in her skull!) raises blood pressure – intense pain very much so. Coming out of a dental procedure, hurting like heck, my blood pressure went to point that I could here them def afraid (this was years before mini stroke) that I might stoke out, they were frantic, injection waited 30 seconds another injection waited 30 seconds I heard nurse ask doc another? And he replied we have done 2 get me (named a different drug). Folks were moving around fast. I felt like my head was going to explode. Literally! It was intense.
Intense pain, mild hangover, stressed getting 5 kids packed ready for trip home combined = rise in blood pressure. IN addition, only IMO husband did not strike me as a helper in any of these domains prior to departure! He was XXXX!
I vote vascular stuff in brain area!
