It's sad, but as my mom said, "She was elderly Laura, doctors didn't want to invest their resources into trying to figure it out".

She passed away from a heart attack, and as a result, no autopsy was completed. Shame really... now I am left wondering what it was that really and truly was affecting my grandmother. For all I know, she had some crazy AI condition (probably the case), but I'll never know now.
