The spinal surgeon consultant, Mr. Adrian Casey, who made the discctomy, commented that this blood loss was “unlikely to cause death” and described the cause as “something inexplicable.”
Dr. Katherine Hunt, the clinical leader of the resuscitation of UCLH, said that Samantha’s bleeding was more likely that the result of the RC and identified signs of an abnormal heart rate in the strip of the defibrillator’s rhythm.
Senior Forensic Professor Fiona Wilcox concluded that the actress died of arrhythmic cardiac arrest after complications of spinal surgical treatment.
