At 11:25 p.m., her heart stopped. The doctors tried to revive her, but at 11:35 p.m. she passed away. The doctors informed her children of the results. “We tried, but her injuries were just too great”.

On January 4, 2011, Laura Holden looked at what was left of Beatrice’s body on her autopsy table. Clearly consistent with a car accident. She took some toxicology screens and found no evidence of drugs or alcohol. She looked at the death certificate signed by the doctor and saw as the third cause “Possible Suicide” and the time and date of death. She shook her head, suicides were always the worst from auto accidents because that meant a coroner’s inquest might be requested by an insurance company.
