Rare Simple

Per reports, although emergency services rushed to her rescue because of “concern for safety,” they found her dead in the hotel room at 6:27 am.

During an interview with investigators, her mom reportedly said: “There was some sort of engagement party or something. By midnight, she had been drinking shots and so on, and she was a bit drunk, so her friend took her back to the hotel to sleep it off, and then he’s gone back out.

It seems she has got up out of the bed confused, not knowing where she is, and she’s opened the door of the wardrobe may be thinking it is the toilet or the door to go back out of the room. Read the full story here ▶

The doctors told the family that the 35-year-old woman, Ashley, reportedly died after drinking roughly 64 ounces of water in just 20 minutes. Police officials released a statement, saying that she died from water toxicity, the process of depleting one’s body of electrolytes, following an outing over the weekend.

According to the health experts, water toxicity happens when one drink too much water too fast. The effect is to overwhelm one’s own body’s complex organ systems, primarily the kidneys, to regulate the balance of fluids. The effect is to dilute one’s own body of sodium, potassium, and chloride, which regulates proper cell function.

On the last day of her trip, the mom of two had told family members that she felt lightheaded and had a headache, symptoms of dehydration and incredibly thirsty.

Despite rapidly drinking 64 ounces of fluid, no amount of water could satiate her thirst. Ashley drank the equivalent of four 16oz (500ml) bottles. When the woman returned home, she collapsed in her garage, having suffered severe brain swelling. The mom of two never regained consciousness.

At the hospital, doctors diagnosed her with water toxicity, also called hyponatremia, which develops as a result of there being too much water in the body and not enough sodium. When Devon, Ashley’s brother, heard of his sister’s condition, he was in disbelief, telling WRTV: ‘It was a big shock to us all. I was just like, this is a thing?’ Adding: ‘She just felt like she couldn’t get enough water… When they left the sand bar to when they got to the dock, it was about a 20 minute boat ride … she drank four bottles of water in that 20 minutes. That’s half a gallon. That’s what you’re supposed to drink in a whole day.’

Recalled the brother: ‘My sister, Holly, called me, and she was just an absolute wreck. She was like “Ashley is in the hospital. She has brain swelling, they don’t know what’s causing it, they don’t know what they can do to get it to go down, and it’s not looking good”‘. Ashley never regained consciousness and doctors diagnosed her with water poisoning, or hyponatraemia. The condition occurs when someone consumed an excessive amount of water in a narrow window of time, which overwhelms the ability of the body’s complex organ systems, primarily the kidneys, to regulate the balance of fluids.

The 50-year-old mother, Lori, was found guilty in May for killing two of her children, 16-year-old Tylee and 7-year-old Vallow. She was also found guilty of conspiring to kill Tammy, the spouse of Chad, whom she later married.

Last week, the killer mom was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole for the murders of her two youngest children. She also received a life sentence for conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the death of a romantic rival.

“I don’t think to this day you have any remorse for the effort and heartache you caused for others who looked for your children when you knew where they were and knew they were dead,”

Judge Steven her during the sentencing hearing. “They were found dead, burned, mutilated and dismembered, and buried like animals.” Judge Steven determined that since all three murders took place at different times, the mother should be held responsible for each one. Therefore the life sentences for murder would run consecutively. She also received life sentences for conspiring to murder her two children and 10 years for grand theft. The sentencing hearing was the first time both the judge and victims directly addressed the mother.

“The most unimaginable type of murder is to have a mother murder her own children, and that’s exactly what you did,” Judge Steven told her. “It is the most shocking thing I can imagine.” “You had so many other options,” the judge said. “You chose the most evil and destructive path possible.” “You are a liar, an adulteress and a murderer, and because of the choices you made, my family lost a beloved mother, sister, aunt, and daughter,” Samantha, Tammy’s sister, said. “She was 1,000 times the woman you will ever dream of being. Lori also addressed the court prior to her sentencing, but her plea did not help her case. “Jesus knows me. And Jesus understands me. I mourn with all of you who mourn my children and Tammy.

Jesus Christ knows the truth of what happened here. Jesus Christ knows that no one was murdered in this case. Accidental deaths happen. Suicides happen. Fatal side effects from medications happen,” she said. “The first time JJ visited me after he passed away he put his arm around me and said to me ‘you didn’t do anything wrong, Mom. I love you and I know you loved me every minute of my life.’ JJ was an adult spirit and he was very tall when he put his arm around me. … He’s busy, engaged, he has jobs he’s doing there, he’s happy where he lives.” “I look forward to the day we are all reunited and I too, will rest with them in the arms of my Jesus,” she said.

The 21-year-old woman, Alanna, and her 25-year-old fiancé Rick lived with her son and their pooch Koela. Were it not for Koela, the mother and her son would probably not be around today. When Alanna was pregnant with her son Lincoln she began to experience sharp pains in her lower back.

She went to hospital, but doctors told her not to be concerned. They said it was a side effect of her pregnancy and nothing to be overly worried about.

So Alanna returned home and continued with her daily life. She knew, however, that not all was right with her body. And she wasn’t the only one; Keola obviously felt the same. Read the full story here ▶

Kenneth Suttner, 17, was bullied at work and at school according to the Columbia Daily Tribune.

Tragically, on December 21st, Suttner shot himself in the head after having composed several suicide notes to his family and friends.

On February 14, a coroner’s jury ruled that his death was caused by involuntary manslaughter – and the person responsible was Harley Branham, 21, a former manager at Dairy Queen in Howard County, Missouri.

Branham had been Suttner’s superior and would force him to clean the floor while lying on his stomach and would bully him.

The jury also found that the school district was negligent in not preventing bullying and Dairy Queen was negligent in training its employees.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services explained that research shows that persistent bullying can lead to an increased sense of rejection, isolation, despair, exclusion, anxiety, and depression.

All of these behaviors can bring about suicidal ideation.

As a mother, the idea that someone can be bullied to the point of wanting to die is terrible to think about.

Bullying, according to stopbullying.gov can be attacking someone verbally or physically, spreading rumors, making threats, or excluding someone from a group.

If you are a parent, talk to your children – make sure they are not being bullied or are bullying others.

We all know high school and even middle school are challenging enough, no one deserves to be bullied – ever.

We as parents have the responsibility to make sure that all children are safe, not just our own!

It may be cliché, but children are our future!

Share away, people.
