- goda90 10y agoShe may have experienced a lot of brain damage, so even a functioning heart wouldn't keep her alive.
- msie 10y agoThanks, this agrees with what I read elsewhere.
- pjc50 10y agoI think the short answer is sadly no. Heart attacks are one of the more common causes of death. Resuscitation isn't always possible.
- JshWright 10y agoShe has spoken publicly about her struggles with cocaine addiction. Significant cocaine use can do irreversible damage to the heart (I'm not suggesting that there was any recent use, just that use earlier in her life may have impaired her heart's ability to cope with the aging process).
- BipolarElsa 10y agoIt was without a doubt the gratuitous amounts of cocaine. Take Robin Williams: he had major heart surgery due to heavy cocaine use. The ramifications of 70s-level cocaine abuse is still being felt today.
