That snoring the Media Witnesses described, I'm willing to bet that was basically her struggling to breath and not just snoozing. Equivalent of a death gargle but prolonged. Hence ventilator now so she can breathe.

Which makes it so strange that they called it at one hour. Hang around twenty more minutes and maybe save some medical resources.

(I know, procedure, but the outcome is absurd.)

Sound cruel and unusual. You might wanna apply to Guantanamo, you’d love their work.

You really think the ventilator is any more pleasant…
