According to initial police investigation, the decedent was the "driver" of a vehicle traveling Southbound on the Palmetto Expressway (SR 836) at 07:50 A.M., when she suddenly pulled to the right and struck the concrete wall with the right front of her 1994 Toyota.

Fire Rescue transported the decedent to Palmetto General Hospital Emergency Room, where she was admitted at 08:30 A.M. with no vital signs, both pupils fixed and dilated, in ventricular fibrillation, and upon external examination was suspected to be approximately 20 weeks pregnant.  However, No FHT found with fetal monitor during treatment.

Contact with the decedent's sister, Vanessa Paulk, revealed that the decedent has been taking "Claritin" prescribed by Robert Contrucci, D.O.  The sister also thought that the decedent had seen a doctor regarding her "cysts", but that she did not know who the name or location of the doctor.  A check of the decedent's residence did not produce any results in determining the doctor.

Dr Robert Contrucci's office confirmed that the decedent was treated for "Chronic Allergic Rhinosinusitis" with prescriptions of "Claritin D" and Nasal Vancenaseaque (spray).
