Question

The holidays were exciting for 24 year old Histie. New Year’s Eve came and she partied all night drinking beer and whiskey. While waiting for her friends to arrive, Histie fell on her knees feeling a sharp pain on her chest and suddenly laid unconscious on the floor. Her friends brought her to the emergency department of Tology Hospital, not one hour later. Unfortunately, she was declared dead-on-arrival, and upon autopsy, her cause of death is consistent with that of aneurysm (heart). Histie is a known smoker with a history of alcohol and other drug abuse.
