Case Number: 2013-04489

Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 53-year-old Caucasian female that occurred in a hospital.

The coroner’s office identified the woman as Mary Wilkinson.

Manner of Death: Natural

Cause of Death A: Intracranial Hemorrhage

Cause of Death B: Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysm Causing Fall

RIP MARY WILKINSON (August 23, 1959 – June 21, 2013)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Friday at 3:19 p.m.

A ruptured cerebral aneurysm is a pathological condition arising from a weakness in the blood vessel wall, often due to congenital defects, hypertension, or atherosclerosis. The resulting intracranial hemorrhage is a direct consequence of that disease process. The fall mentioned is a secondary event caused by the sudden onset of the hemorrhage (e.g., loss of consciousness or seizure), not an independent external force that precipitated the rupture. Therefore, the death is attributable to natural causes.

Note that there are multiple decedents named “Mary Wilkinson” in public records.
