According to a who expresses that sources from
Reddington hospital, where Goldie died last night, stated that the likely cause of her
sudden death is 'pulmonary embolism'.
According to an article on
the New York Times website, “Life-threatening blood clots and flying have been
linked for more than 50 years, but a new study of business travelers confirms
the risk, particularly for those who take long flights or fly frequently.
“Immobility is considered a
major factor behind the condition, called deep vein thrombosis.
“But while it is often
referred to as “economy-class syndrome” because of the cramped seating there,
D.V.T. also occurs among those who fly in business class and first class, the
researchers found.
“People who fly four hours
or more, the study found, have three times the risk of developing clots
compared with periods when they did not travel.
“D.V.T. occurs when a blood
clot forms within the large deep veins of the body, usually in the leg. If
untreated, part of the clot may break off and travel to the lungs, where it can
cause a pulmonary embolism, a potentially fatal condition.”
A report on National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute’s website, noted that “pulmonary embolism is a very
serious condition. It can damage the lungs and other organs in the body and
cause death.
According to close friends,
the singer and former Big Brother contestant, was a frequent traveller and had
complained of stress in the past weeks, but insisted she was fine.
Her corpse was deposited at
the LASU General Hospital this morning.
