Faye's Autopsy

Donation protected
Faye Francis was a tiny little 27-year-old firebrand who was an FAU graduate in broadcast journalism. She used to work for Cox Media as an executive producer for the Number One rated afternoon drive program (The "Rick Party in the afternoon with Benji Brown" Show) on Hot 105. She was responsible for helping them to reach that Number one status in just one year throughout the entire nation. She left Hot 105 and got into voiceover, where she would audition and get picked for various commercial advertisements and some film too. In June, Faye decided to diversify by going to school to become a real estate agent. She graduated from Gold Coast School of Real Estate and then passed the state board exam and Joined me, her dad at Remax House of Real Estate in Fort Lauderdale. Faye was a fitness nut, working out 5 times a week, and brushing after every meal, not to mention flossing too. She was a picture of health; rarely ever sick and always full of life and energy. Back in October Faye moved with her mother and sister from Coral Springs to Old Fort Lauderdale, and that's when she started having respiratory issues.... in February 2019. From time to time Faye started hacking and coughing up thick phlegm on the regular. She used to be on her mother's health plan until she turned 27, after which she had to get her own; something, with an unsteady flow of income she could barely afford. She let it lapse and as a result, and was for the first time in her life without a primary doctor or any network of specialty doctors. Her only recourse was to visit the ER or an urgent care facility. As a result, her medical attention slipped through the cracks of what is called " Continuity of Care" The Urgent Care facilities and the ER's couldn't seem to get to the root of what was wrong and as a result, Faye woke up November 8th and suffered respiratory arrest; the inability to metabolize oxygen in her lungs to her bloodstream. She went into cardiac arrest as the paramedics pulled up and jumped out of the vehicle. Faye literally ran to the ambulance that pulled up in her yard and collapsed in the arms of the EMT. Her last words to her mother as they put her in the ambulance was: " DON'T LET ME DIE!". Her heart stopped beating for 20 minutes; the EMT's applied compression massage on her chest to get her heart going, but 20 minutes without adequate circulation or oxygen to the brain caused her brain to inflame and enlargen beyond the size of her scull's inner cavity thereby expanding and collapsing upon itself from within. She never regained consciousness..... Faye was pronounced "Brain Dead" from Anoxic Brain Injury and they want us to spend a few hours tomorrow saying goodbye before they disconnect the life support system and let her heart fade away. The Medical Examiner's office is not interested in how this could've happened, but we, her family would like to get to the bottom of her killer... She'd been fighting this chronic situation for 9 months to no avail. The health care system in this country Failed my daughter; If you don't have the money to make the monthly payment, your health coverage lapses and you lose the ability to take care of yourself. We have hired a private pathologist: Dr. Eroston Price to conduct a private autopsy at the funeral home. but we need to come up with the money in a cashiers check made out to Dr. Price and given to Boyd Funeral Home before she can begin the autopsy. Faye was my Baby daughter....She didn't deserve to die like this and we owe it to her to get to the bottom of what she had to struggle with for 9 Months before unfortunately losing her life over what actually precipitated her cardiac arrest.
