rach 1 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Can you imagine this? What must it be like for the family? In a coma for 28 years and then die. Quote: US heiress Martha von Bulow, who spent almost three decades in a coma but was still at the centre of 1980s courtroom dramas, has died at the age of 76. Mrs von Bulow, known as Sunny, was found unconscious in her Rhode Island mansion in December 1980. Her second husband, Claus von Bulow, who is now a society figure in Britain, was acquitted of twice trying to kill her with insulin injections. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yeah I heard that on the news this morning. I thought the same thing Rach. Wow! 28 years. How does one actually manage in a coma for 28 years, I mean...feeding must be done via a tube, how does that all work? Sustaining life for 28 years...I find that hard to fathom. Muscle wasting... wow I just can't get my head around how someone can exist in a coma for 28 yrs with ANY hope for any recovery let alone a meaningful recovery. Sad for the family - the grief process has been so drawn out. Link to post Share on other sites
