Headline says CARRIE FISHER DIED FROM SLEEP APNEA

www.usatoday.com/story/life/2017/06/17/carrie-fisher-causeof-death/405672001/

and "other [be]causes"..... but no official cause of death yet. WTF? She had heart disease!! Well.... fake news at worst, shitty journalism at best.


I would like to know how they can even determine a person died from OSA.

My dad did. It weakens the heart. His heart was so bad it could not support the kidneys.

Let me preface this by saying he ignored his sleep apnea for years, refusing to use the bipap because he 'couldn't sleep with all that air blowing in my face". He fell asleep everywhere, even driving. It wasn't until he had a tracheotomy done that he started using the machine regularly.

Friend died from Sleep Apnea - never used her CPAP, went up to take a nap, and never woke up

Well, I'm not saying it's "not a health problem" and may contribute to other more serious ailments but as far as the OP

The Sleep Apnea Industry will probably be sorry to hear this.
