I think to suppress/override the instinct to try and remove the bags. Even if they were drowsy they might have had enough physical energy to attempt any way to breathe (including ripping or taking off the bags) due to survival reflexes.

Three babies in three years? That's a lot. I wonder how often her husband travelled. Her facebook posts, according to the article above, sound like she was having some psychotic symptoms. Sad all around.
Ann Burgess! She was my idol when I was in nursing school. I did go into psychiatry but didn't quite make it into the professional forensic realm. She's an amazing trailblazer!

The obituary thing had to be difficult and awkward. In my mind, I'm wondering how this would be worded. There's no standard way to say that her fiance is missing and likely presumed dead. I wonder if they decided to just leave his name out as to not make things sound odd and to just keep her...
I was sort of surprised at the medications that were found at the scene. Both very common and boring, used for long term management of health conditions. Neither was a rescue med. Diltiazem is often taken at night (to minimize vessel issues that can occur in the morning) and the levothyroxine...
