white female deaths 2

The High Court heard Aibha had been admitted to hospital four times in 2011 but her condition was never properly diagnosed or treated.

She was admitted for a final time in December 2011 with low blood sugar, weakness and vomiting.

She had initially responded to treatment but within 90 minutes suffered respiratory arrest and had to be resuscitated.

She was transferred to Temple Street Hospital where she remained on life support for three days before her death.

She died as a result of brain damage due to a prolonged episode of low blood sugar.
This morning the court approved part of a settlement in the family's case taken against the Health Service Executive for wrongful death.

Mr Justice Kevin Cross was told the family wanted the entire statutory amount of €25,300 to be paid to Aibha's younger sister, Sorcha.

The best friend and business partner of a budding fashionista who jumped to her death from a New York bridge on what was supposed to be her 22nd birthday posted a Facebook rant allegedly targeting the young woman just hours before the suicide.
Ashley Anne Riggitano leapt from George Washington Bridge at 4.40pm yesterday into the Hudson River.
It is believed that earlier in the day, Victoria Van Thunen, who co-owned the jewelry line Missfits with Riggitano, wrote on her Facebook page: ‘Those who incessantly blame others as the cause of their issues should perhaps take a step back and reevaluate these situations. The common thread may be that “they” aren’t the problem, but rather that YOU are.’
Riggitano's Louis Vuitton bag left on the bridge contained handwritten notes singling out the five people who had made her unhappy, who whom she did not want at her funeral.
'All my other ‘friends’ are in it for gossip,' she wrote according to the New York Post.
It remains unknown if Van Thunen was among the friends mentioned in Riggitano's grudge list. Calls to her cell phone were no immediately  answered Thursday evening.
Riggitano also mentioned a man who she was not happy with, and although he was permitted to attend her funeral, she added that she hoped he 'gets what he deserves' when he gets there.
The newspaper reported that Miss Riggitano may have had a history of problems and tried to commit suicide at least once before.
Medication, including Adderall and Klonopin, was found in her bag, according to sources.
Adderall is used for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or narcolepsy, while Klonopin is used to control seizures in epilepsy and for the treatment of panic disorder.

Woo added that the vivacious the 22-year-old had a distinct New York City style and always appeared put together, which made others in the fashion community embrace her as one of their own.
‘I think everybody were really sweet to her,’ she said. ‘She didn’t look like she was the kind of person who was bullied at all.’
The designer went on to say that in the short time that Riggitano had spent at the company, she always came in on time, and was happy to chat about television shows she had watched or the blogs she had read.
‘It was a really big shock to us,’ Woo said, referring to Riggitano's tragic end.
According to the site Cliffview Pilot, what makes the suicide even more tragic is the fact that Riggitano took her life on what was supposed to be her 22nd birthday.

A 22-year-old woman was apparently mauled to death by her own dogs, described as pit bulls, according to Virginia law enforcement.

Bethany Lynn Stephens’ body was found in a wooded area in Goochland, V.A., with wounds on her hands, arms, throat and face consistent with a mauling, WTVR reports. Stephens’ father went looking for her on Thursday, and reportedly discovered her dogs standing watch over her body.

“It was an absolutely grisly mauling ,” Sheriff James Agnew told WTVR. “In my 40 years of law enforcement I’ve never seen anything quite like it. I hope I never see anything like it again.”

Agnew told WTVR that the dogs appeared to initiate the mauling. Evidence suggests the attack began when Stephens was alive, and became fatal after she fell to the ground unconscious. There is no evidence of a homicide, WTVR reports, and the sheriff’s office will look to euthanize the pit bulls.

Deputies found a Virginia woman in the woods and saw her two pit bull dogs “eating [her] rib cage,” the sheriff said on Monday about the “grisly” mauling of the 22-year-old who was found dead after taking her pets for a walk.
Bethany Stephens, 22, was found about 8:20 p.m. Thursday in a wooded area in Goochland, WTVR reported. Her father discovered her body guarded by “two very large, brindle-colored pit bull dogs,” who were Stephens’ pets that friends said she loved.

“Let me cut right to the chase, the most important detail that we did not release because we were worried about the well-being of the family is that in the course of trying to capture the dogs early Friday morning...we turned and looked…I observed, as well as four other deputy sheriffs, the dogs eating the ribcage on the body,” Goochland County Sheriff James Agnew said in a news conference.
The injuries were very severe,” he added. “The most prevalent damage…the damage was so extensive [on the body] that there was nothing left to compare the bite marks to.”

Bethany Stephens, 22, whose body was found in the woods in Goochland, was mauled to death last week by her dogs, named Tonka and Pac-Man, during a walk, police said. Goochland County Sheriff James Agnew said at a news conference on Monday deputies witnessed the dogs “eating [her] rib cage” last week and found Stephens’ body completely naked except for one boot . The dogs were later euthanized.

Jeffery Noble, 35, was booked late Sunday into the Dallas County jail and is being held on a charge of capital murder

COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) - Shannon Eastman remembers her daughter, the youngest of her children, as a bright, vibrant, talented athlete who was determined and a fighter.

Never did she think her daughter Cortnee would die by suicide at age 15.

“Suicide is the hardest thing,” she said. “It’s not like a car accident that can’t be prevented. Suicide can be prevented.”

It’s been slightly more than a month since Cortnee died, and Shannon Eastman is attempting to reach out to her daughter’s friends, members of her cheerleading team and others to help Columbus teens who might be struggling.

Public speaking isn’t something that comes easily to her, but she’s trying to speak individually and with small groups about Cortnee’s death.

“I’m telling them, first of all, at their age - being a young adult - they are going through many emotions,” she said. “You might feel at the lowest point, but that’s when you need to call someone or go take a walk with someone.”

She has been telling teens, if they ever get into a place where thoughts of suicide enter their mind, to talk to someone, she said.

“There are so many people who love you,” she said. “You need to call someone. You need to know it will get better.”

She still wishes Cortnee would have called someone or turned to some sort of exercise or an activity in the 20 minutes that the family believes her thoughts turned to suicide.

Cortnee would spend hours in the gym perfecting a skill for cheerleading, and her coach described her as a fighter, her mother said.

At times, Cortnee asked to stay at the gym just a little bit longer to practice.

“That’s why it hurts so bad,” her mother said. “She just gave up so easily. She was so mentally strong, and it’s hard to accept she got in a weak moment.”

Her mother said she believes her daughter’s death was over the ending of a relationship.

“She got caught up with a boy. And it was definitely in that moment, the lowest point,” she said. “That’s not who Cortnee is or Cortnee was.”

Cortnee’s friend Abby Hiatt said she couldn’t tell anything was wrong with Cortnee, other than her friend was sad about a breakup.

In the first days of school, many people were talking about Cortnee’s death and wanting to know the why of it, Abby said.

“I don’t think anyone can know the real reason except for the person who did it,” Abby said.

Cortnee’s mother said she feels something snapped in her daughter’s head.

“She was deeply in love,” her mother said. “But it’s a phase of life. Most of the people who date in high school don’t stay together. But at that point in life, they don’t realize that.”

Shannon Eastman did know that Cortnee had mentioned suicide to the boy involved in the breakup. He had told his mother, who called Eastman to let her know about the conversation, she said.

Cortnee’s parents were watching her closely for about a week before her death.

But Cortnee pushed her parents away when they asked how they could help, asking to be left alone, her mother said.

“Most kids are not going to talk to their parents,” she said. “That’s the hardest thing - they don’t want to let people know and they will push you away. Never in a million years did I think she was thinking about this. She hid it very well. Every sign I saw was that of a typical teenager.”

Shannon Eastman hasn’t changed anything in Cortnee’s room since her death, except to take some things to the girl’s funeral.

Now she finds herself wandering through stores that her daughter frequented and momentarily senses a need to buy a particular item for Cortnee.

“I catch myself saying, ‘Cortnee would have loved that,’ or ‘I’ll just ask Cortnee,’” her mother said.

“It’s very hard when it comes to that,” she said. “We were just together so much.”

Kelly suffered from depression and anxiety for much of her teenage years and adult life, said Benczkowski, who is town supervisor of Cheektowaga.

A young girl who was about to celebrate her second birthday died when the handbrake of her family car came off in a tragic accident. Ellie Perkins was running from nursery towards he mother’s blue Jeep when the brake was accidentally knocked by her three-year-old brother as he climbed into the car.The Jeep rolled down a hill then flipped over, hitting Ellie as her mother Caroline looked on helplessly. She suffered a fractured skull and died later in hospital. Her older brother, Freddie, who had been excited because his mother had bought cupcakes for Ellie’s birthday, survived the crash.

The signal at east/west U.S. 24 turned red and the Explorer turned onto southbound Broadway, according to state police.

Troopers say the semi did not stop for the red light and entered the intersection, hitting the Explorer on the passenger side.

The Explorer then spun into a 2017 Chevrolet Cruz driven by Jayson Hall, 43, of Peru, that was facing northbound on Broadway Street in a turn lane, waiting to turn east onto U.S. 24.

Baker, the driver of the semi, was not hurt. He was hauling scrap for OJC Trucking based in Hartford City.

Buffington, the driver of the Explorer, was flown by medical helicopter to a Ft. Wayne hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Devin Buffington, 8, a passenger in the Explorer. was also flown to a Ft. Wayne hospital with facial and head injuries. He's said to be stable.

Amanda Buffington, 12, also a passenger in the Explorer, was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 17-year-old Newark girl killed in a motor vehicle crash in Bear Tuesday night was identified by Delaware State Police Wednesday.

According to authorities, Caitlin Rouwhorst was killed when she turned her Saturn SL 2 into the path of an oncoming 2011 Dodge Nitro being operated by a 27-year-old Newark man as he approached the intersection of Cornell Drive and Salem Church Road.

Police said she was at a stop sign, and turned into the path of the vehicle without yielding. She was struck on the driver's side door.

Rouwhorst died at Christiana Hospital as a result of her injuries. A 16-year-old male passenger in the Saturn was treated for minor injuries and released.


The operator of the Dodge was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at Christiana Hospital. An 8-year-old boy in the Dodge was uninjured.

An investigation is ongoing, police said. All parties were properly restrained, and impairment does not appear to be a contributing factor in the crash, authorities said.

A Jacksonville teen was found dead in her on-campus dorm Tuesday morning at the University of Central Florida, authorities said.

Paramedics found Alyssa Michelle Lewis dead in her room at the Lake Claire apartments after her family called 911 at 10:35 a.m. when they could not reach her, university police stated in a release.Lewis, 19, was in her fourth semester at UCF. She graduated from Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville.

Her father, Bill Lewis, told News4Jax by phone that his daughter had recently been dealing with headaches and vomiting. He said his wife took a trip down to the UCF campus Tuesday morning to pick their daughter up and take her to a doctor.

"She's banging on the door and she's trying to call. Alyssa's not answering. My other daughter shows up with her and they have to go get someone to let them in the dorm room from housing," Bill Lewis said. "They go in and find Alyssa ... passed away."

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML, APL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a cancer of the white blood cells.[1] In APL, there is an abnormal accumulation of immature granulocytes called promyelocytes. The disease is characterized by a chromosomal translocation involving the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα or RARA) gene and is distinguished from other forms of AML by its responsiveness to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA; also known as tretinoin) therapy. Acute promyelocytic leukemia was first characterized in 1957[2][3] by French and Norwegian physicians as a hyperacute fatal illness,[1] with a median survival time of less than a week.[4] Today, prognoses have drastically improved; 10-year survival rates are estimated to be approximately 77% according to one study.[5][4]

Acute promyelocytic leukemia is characterized by a chromosomal translocation involving the retinoic acid receptor-alpha gene on chromosome 17 (RARA).[1] In 95% of cases of APL, retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RARA) gene on chromosome 17 is involved in a reciprocal translocation with the promyelocytic leukemia gene (PML) on chromosome 15, a translocation denoted as t(15;17)(q24;q21).[1] The RAR receptor is dependent on retinoic acid for regulation of transcription.[1]

Eight other rare gene rearrangements have been described in APL fusing RARA to promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF also known as ZBTB16),[7] nucleophosmin(NPM1), nuclear matrix associated (NUMA1), signal transducer and activator of transcription 5b (STAT5B), protein kinase A regulatory subunit 1α (PRKAR1A), factor interacting with PAPOLA and CPSF1 (FIP1L1), BCL6 corepressor (BCOR) or oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding fold containing 2A (OBFC2A also known as NABP1) genes. Some of these rearrangements are ATRA-sensitive or have unknown sensitivity to ATRA because they are so rare; STAT5B/RARA and PLZF/RARA are known to be resistant to ATRA.[1]

The fusion of PML and RARA results in expression of a hybrid protein with altered functions. This fusion protein binds with enhanced affinity to sites on the cell's DNA, blocking transcription and differentiation of granulocytes. It does so by enhancing interaction of nuclear co-repressor (NCOR) molecule and histone deacetylase (HDAC). Although the chromosomal translocation involving RARA is believed to be the initiating event, additional mutations are required for the development of leukemia.[1]

RAR-α/PLZF gene fusion produces a subtype of APL that is unresponsive to tretinoin therapy and less responsive to standard anthracycline chemotherapy hence leading to poorer long-term outcomes in this subset of patients.[1]

This is the first time I have ever gone public about my Trichotillomania. For those who don’t know, Trichotillomania is an obsessive compulsive disorder where one pulls their own hair out. For some that could be the hair on your head, eyelashes, eyebrows, etc. For me, I pull on the top of my head. Yes I know a lot of you are thinking “wtf? Why not just stop pulling?” to some extent (but not to an extreme) it’s like telling an alcoholic “why not just stop drinking?” I’ve always had thin hair, and have always worn extensions because I was insecure about it. However, once the disorder started, that (thinness) didn’t necessarily matter anymore- because now I had huge bald spots to be concerned about. The first 2 pictures are of me with my new wig that just came in the mail, and the third is of my real hair, rather what’s left of it. I never ever imagined it would get so bad to the point that I pulled so much that I needed a wig to bring back my self confidence and to feel beautiful again. However, it is what it is at the moment, and as stupid as it sounds, I cried when I first put on the wig, because it was truly bittersweet. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to run my fingers through my hair or push back bangs out of my face- all that good stuff. Like I said in the beginning, this post isn’t for attention or sympathetic purposes. Girls post selfies all the time when they feel like they’re slaying one day or feel good about themselves — well, this is one of those days for me. This is the first time in a long time that I have had genuine self confidence and have felt beautiful, and I wanted to share (and perhaps even spread awareness). This one of many steps in my journey to not even be “pull-free,” but to do my absolute best to get relatively close (as for most cases, most people don’t ever become pull-free). Anywho— may get some hate here, but I could f*cking care less, because I’m slaying af today

Ewing sarcoma is a cancerous tumor that grows in the bones or in the tissue around bones (soft tissue)—often the legs, pelvis, ribs, arms or spine. Ewing sarcoma can spread to the lungs, bones and bone marrow.

"Each day is a gift, not a given right":

“It’s a strange thing to realize and accept your mortality at 26 years young,” she wrote, referring to being diagnosed with cancer a year earlier.

“It’s a strange thing to realise and accept your mortality at 26 years young. It’s just one of those things you ignore. The days tick by and you just expect they will keep on coming, until the unexpected happens,” Holly began her letter.

"I always imagined myself growing old, wrinkled and grey - most likely caused by the beautiful family (lots of kiddies) I planned on building with the love of my life. I want that so bad it hurts."

Holly explained that's the thing about life, it's "fragile, precious and unpredictable". She said each day was a gift and not a given right.

"I’m 27 now. I don’t want to go. I love my life. I am happy... I owe that to my loved ones. But the control is out of my hands," she wrote.

Holly penned the letter not so we would fear death, but so we could start an honest conversation about it and begin to focus on the important things.

"I just want people to stop worrying so much about the small, meaningless stresses in life and try to remember that we all have the same fate after it all, so do what you can to make your time feel worthy and great, minus the bullsh*t," she explained.

"You might have got caught in bad traffic today, or had a bad sleep because your beautiful babies kept you awake, or your hairdresser cut your hair too short. Your new fake nails might have got a chip, your boobs are too small, or you have cellulite on your a**e and your belly is wobbling.

"Let all that sh*t go... I swear you will not be thinking of those things when it is your turn to go. It is all SO insignificant when you look at life as a whole. I’m watching my body waste away right before my eyes with nothing I can do about it and all I wish for now is that I could have just one more birthday or Christmas with my family, or just one more day with my partner and dog. Just one more."

Instead of focusing on the negative, Holly urges us to: "Get out there and take a freaking big breath of that fresh Aussie air deep in your lungs, look at how blue the sky is and how green the trees are, it is so beautiful. Think how lucky you are to be able to do just that - breathe."

"Get up early sometimes and listen to the birds while you watch the beautiful colours the sun makes as it rises.

Listen to music... really listen. Music is therapy. Old is best.

Cuddle your dog. Far out, I will miss that.

Talk to your friends. Put down your phone. Are they doing okay?

Travel if it’s your desire, don’t if it’s not.

Work to live, don’t live to work.

Seriously, do what makes your heart feel happy.

Eat the cake. Zero guilt.

Say no to things you really don’t want to do.

Don’t feel pressured to do what other people might think is a fulfilling life... you might want a mediocre life and that is so okay.

Tell your loved ones you love them every time you get the chance and love them with everything you have.

Also, remember if something is making you miserable, you do have the power to change it - in work or love or whatever it may be. Have the guts to change. You don’t know how much time you’ve got on this earth so don’t waste it being miserable. I know that is said all the time but it couldn’t be more true."

A 48-year-old Florida woman who killed her two teenage children earlier this year shot them in the backs of their heads as they slept in their West Palm Beach home before turning the gun on herself, a newly released autopsy report reveals.

Additionally, after killing her two children, 15-year-old Jacqueline and 16-year-old Alexander, Jennifer Berman left a suicide note on the counter in the kitchen, next to two open bottles of wine.

'I am so sorry to those that are hurting because they loved us...,' a portion of the note, obtained by CBS12.com, read.
The rest of the note was not released along with the autopsy report.

The bodies of all three were found by the children's father - Jennifer Berman's ex-husband - Richard Berman, 51, shortly after the January 13, murders and suicide.

In a dramatic 911 audio recording, Richard Berman is heard frantically rushing to the home he once shared with his family immediately after his ex-wife had told him of her crazed intention to murder their children.

Despite the dispatcher's repeated warnings, he went inside and encountered an unimaginably grisly scene.

'He’s not moving, there’s blood on his ear,' the luxury realtor manages to sputter after finding the body of his 16-year-old son. 'I can’t believe this is happening.'

In the tense moments before it became all too clear that 15-year-old daughter Jacqueline and son Alexander were shot dead by their own mother, Berman told the 911 operator he was terrified to enter the house.

Officer Gregory Noble said He then found Calyx on the second floor of the home with two gunshot wounds to the head. She was also covered with a blanket. Schenecker shot both her children twice - the second time in the mouth, r Bernard Adams, the former Hills County Chief Medical Examiner from 2011 who examined the crime scene.

He said that the teenage girl was shot in the mouth, with a bullet going through the front teeth and tip of the tongue. Dr Adams testified that the bullet went through facial bones and came to rest in eye socket.

He said that one bullet lacerated an artery, causing Calyx to die within a few seconds. The doctor said that scrapes to the 16-year-old's shins and the trail of blood led him to believe that her body had been dragged to a bed.

In the minutes after Julie Schenecker shot and killed her two children, she tried to manipulate the mouth of her slain daughter, Calyx, into a smile.

The accident — a result of alcohol and high speed — killed Shauna, 17, and Meghan 15, and critically injured their friend Melissa Smith.

“Shauna was doing 65 in a 35 mile per hour zone. Somebody could have said you’re going too fast, slow down. I don’t think that conversation ever happened,” Murphy said.

When little Olga Chardymova was just ten years old, she insisted on being able to leave the apartment by herself for the first time. She wanted to show she was a “big girl” by walking to Grandma’s house on her own but she never made it there. A drug dealer who lived in her building forced her to the top floor and robbed her of her earrings and when she tried to escape he hit her with a metal bar.
