Found Deceased TX - Kay-Alana Turner, 27, Tomball, 10 March 2023

[Jillyg]

I don't think it's suicide, most likely accidental/death by misadventure, probably exposure.


It's definitely a one-off typo on Charley Project as 37/38 is only used once and everything else is 27 and year of birth of 1995.

But she as in a wooded area?

I really do not want to be insensitive or graphic so please read my thoughts below with that in mind, this is coming from a place of sadness for Kay-Alana.

I don't understand what happens when someone runs off like this and is found deceased later. What actually makes people succumb in situations like this where the deceased is likely experiencing a health crisis as opposed to a reaction to a substance? For example - do they twist their ankle or worse and then they're unable to leave a remote place and reach help? I just don't understand how someone can be so close (relatively) to houses and just...pass away. it is so sad.

I want to say that I very much admire her family. They have reacted with extreme love and loyalty for her from the first moment she was missing. They still are. We should all be so lucky.

I don’t know all the specifics in this case. However her mother did say that Kay Alana had a “large VSD” and arrythmia.

VSD- ventricular septal defect. There is a hole between the ventricles so oxygenated blood mixes with unoxygenated blood and can cause many problems including shortness of breath, tiredness, arrhythmias, heart valve disease, heart failure for example.
Large VSD’s are usually repaired around 4-6 months with open heart surgery though so I’m not sure if hers was not repaired?

I have a friend whose daughter had a large VSD at birth which was surgically corrected and is doing absolutely fine. Each case is different, of course. Kay Alana’s mom didn’t mention any surgery so I’m really not sure.

In this heart problem present at birth, there is a hole between the two lower heart chambers. Know the symptoms and when surgery is needed.
