Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke passed away
RIP Sarah
Skier Sarah Burke dies from injuries - The Globe and Mail
Quote:
Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke has died after a head injury suffered Jan. 10, at the Eagle Superpipe park at Park City Mountain resort in Utah.
A statement from Burke’s family said the 29-year freestyle skier – a four-time winner at the X-Games, died at 9:22 Thursday morning at the University of Utah Hospital “ from injuries sustained in an accident on the Eagle Superpipe at Park City Mountain Resort ... She was training for upcoming winter events.”
The statement said she suffered a ruptured vertebral artery, one of the four major arteries supplying blood to the brain.
“The rupture of this artery led to a severe intracranial hemorrhage, which caused Sarah to go into cardiac arrest on the scene,” the statement detailed.

Did she not have medical insurance? Kind of surprised by that.

I don't think this matters. You would pay anything for a family members life.
