Fireman were called to administer oxygen at 7:36 a.m. Shortly afterward was rushed to Baptist hospital in an ambulance.

She was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to Bonnette.

Cause of death: murdered ------- there was a witness

Her second husband turned on the gas stove (blew out pilot flame) and allowed the gas to kill her. Scene evidence would make that seem true. 2 Death certificates were made, each with a different cause of death. One was false and the other was the truth. He was never held accountable.
