Too Long & Well Documented so Didn't Read: The athlete in question had a rare undiagnosed heart abnormality from birth which resulted in her sudden death.
The linked article on which the OP, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/coron ... r-AA169a1T , is based says, "Ashari Hughes died from anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from left coronary sinus of valsalva, the coroner’s office said. Her manner of death was described as natural."
Google "anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from left coronary sinus of valsalva" and you wind up with a link to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4867971/ which says, "Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva and coursing between the aorta and pulmonary artery is a rare congenital abnormality representing less than 3% of the congenital coronary anomalies. Patients can present with myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, or sudden cardiac death (SCD). This diagnosis should be suspected in young patients without risk factors for coronary artery disease and the diagnosis can be confirmed easily by 64-slice MDCT angiography."
For those apt to latch onto the second sentence without reading the third sentence and comprehending the word "coroner" from the OP article, I laugh at you in advance.
Finally, if one were to extend the 15 second Google search by another 5 seconds to look up "congenital abnormality" you'd find some relevant information from the CDC at https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthdefects ... 0anomalies. , which says, "Congenital anomalies comprise a wide range of abnormalities of body structure or function that are present at birth and are of prenatal origin. For efficiency and practicality, the focus is commonly on major structural anomalies."
20 seconds on Google can save you the agonizing & mentally debilitating embarrassment Vegas is now suffering.
