crackerbarrel; i believe that somewhere here in rm is a thread or two that are very similar to this.
covered two different issues:
unknown or underlying medical conditions.
hypothermia.
and from what i saw on this very board, someone just died from pneumonia. just as one of my best friends mother did several ago.
so please hold off on your assumptions and defense of the actives until some more information comes out on this.
and we have recently had a thread that touched on us civil law as well. one can always say they have a case. after that, it is up to the court, the judge and perhaps a jury.
