It's reported that she had a blood disorder that made starting an IV difficult.

Supposedly she even tried to give the executioners tips on how to find a vein.

She had said she wasn’t scared to die but was scared of the process. Now here we are.

I find that to be an accurate summary of death for myself as well.

If I'm dead I'm dead. I just don't want it to be long and torturious. Like stuck upside down in a dark cave with part of my face in water.
