A few months ago my sister passed unexpectedly. Today we got her cause of death but we're not understanding the lingo. cause of death: Anoxic Encephalopathy with Cerebral Edema and Cerebellar Tonsillar Herniation. Due to Hemorrhagic Dissection of the Internal Carotid Arteries. I have no clue what this means and this still doesn't explain to me why or how this happened.
