1. 2 things:

Fuck TMZ .... that should be private information ONLY FOR her doctors, family, and or close friends

I hope that the stroke was strong enough that she did not suffer for those last few days.

[Guilded Lilly]

4. Exactly.

[badhair77]

5. I agree. It's none of my business.

I just want her at peace and not suffering.

[CousinIT]

6. I despise TMZ for this reason. They may be accurate but they are VULTURES.

No consideration for the dead, their families or privacy AT ALL.

8. ANYONE can look up a death certificate in California.

Don't pin this on TMZ. Pin it on the California government, as they maintain a permanent, public record of every death that has occurred in California. Even you could look it up if you felt so inclined.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. No. Not fuck TMZ.

Death certificates are public record in California. if you want to blame anyone - blame the California laws.

[NurseJackie]

23. Thank you.

[Mr.Bill]

11. Death certificates are

a matter of public record. They really don't contain much info except cause of death and where it happened.

15. Public in Every State?

Are death certificates public in all states? How do you get access to them?

[Mr.Bill]

16. I don't know about every state.

I know they are public record in California. I would imagine the Coroner's office would be the place to go for a copy. In my county the Sheriff and the Coroner are the same person. Actual medical determinations are contracted out, but technically any Sheriff's Deputy is empowered to pronounce someone dead.

2. Hope it was quick and painless. I hope she left 6 days earlier than her body.

A life, well lived.

[Yandex]

3. How do they know it was 6 days?

Had she been to a doctor or called 911 6 days before she died? Or were they able to determine this post-mortem?

[Drunken Irishman]

9. My guess is that the stroke was known to those closest to her...

...and that there wasn't much more they could do at her advanced age so she was likely in a very poor state during those final six days.

Just a guess since they are clear it was six days.

[Yandex]

10. I see, makes sense n/t

[FreeState]

13. It's on the death certificate n/t

[Yandex]

17. What was?

[FreeState]

18. 6 days - it says she had a stroke 6 days before death n/t

[Yandex]

19. Where is it? n/t

[FreeState]

20. 107 Cause of death

It’s about in the middle of the certificate:

14. I'm Guessing She Was On Life Support

Since she was at home, so people close to her could pay their respects. After that point they discontinued life support and she passed peacefully.

[mopinko]

25. probably not. you can last 10 days w/o life support.

this is how my mom went. hung on for a week. not even an iv. tough old bird.
and as a former hospice volunteer i can tell you you have to go to the hospital for life support.

21. Christmas Day

Wonder if the stress of the holiday got to her.

L-

[LittleGirl]

27. I think it was her time to go. Times up, ya know.

Rest well Betty.

[twodogsbarking]

24. Better that the truth is known. A lovely person who made the world a better place.

[mopinko]

26. it was likely a peaceful death. this is how my mom went.

had a stroke, lost consciousness, hung on for a week.
no sign she was in any pain. time for all of us to gather.

rip betty.

[jeffreyi]

28. Yep.

No pain (that we know of), loved ones gathered around...what more can be asked for?
