Add to that the fact that everyone there, all after the fact witnesses, are dead….except Alex.
These are just my thoughts:
-Exhumations are not done just for the heck of it. You don’t disturb the dead and upset their families on a whim. There is some real reason LE feels they need to look further at the body.
.-Perhaps some of her injuries didn’t seem consistent with falling backwards down some steps. The dry medical reports might not tell everything but interviews with doctors and nurses might have brought up suspicions.
-An attempt to put an end to wild speculation. Hopefully the results will tell us either she fell and Alex took advantage, or Alex needed money, again, and manufactured the situation.
“According to a 2018 report from attorney
Scott Wallinger, who was hired by Lloyds of London to represent Alex Murdaugh in the case, Gloria sustained a right-sided head laceration, a right-sided subdural hematoma, a traumatic brain injury, multiple left-side posterior rib fractures, a partially collapsed lung and a plumonary contusion.”
“The (subdural hematoma) was evaluated to not be operable,” the report said. “Doctors also suspected but never located a bowel perforation. She developed a pleural effusion and already had the partially collapsed left lung. She had bilateral chest drains. There is charting by radiology to the effect that at one point her endotracheal tube was positioned too far in (touching the carina) and that an arterial line was in the wrong place, both of which eventually were rectified. Basically she had several severe injuries being managed which together created a greater risk of a downward decline. After a few days she was moved out of the ICU, she appeared by nurse observation to be doing better, then she declined, and was returned to the ICU and eventually placed on a ventilator. She developed a pneumonia of unknown origin; although doctors were aware of sinusitis they never diagnosed the source of pneumonia. She developed fluid in her lungs and had a heart attack and coded. She appears to have sustained anoxic brain injury and went into a deep coma.”
