My mother in law fell and fractureed her shoulder. she was dead in a weaks time. does not make sense to me...
Hi Vic,
It's impossible to answer your question on the web. Was there an autopsy?
Sometimes it happens, especially in the elderly but even in the young. Clots can form from a broken bone and pass into the lungs. Without knowing more about what happened we can't even speculate.
I'm sorry for your loss.
no autopsy. she had a and found hard fall found fractured shoulder
Administered morphine until the end.
