I cannot find any mention of this announcement on Biogen's site, where any announcement from Biogen to the public is always posted as it is announced.

There is no cause of death listed in any of the news reports about this announcement.

The death was reported to Biogen, according to news reports, but no further details are available in any news reports I have read.

In my previous post, I speculated on the likely cause of death and posted "The death was likely as a result of IRIS from PLEX and treatment for PML"
That is my opinion and not fact, since no cause of death has been published.

Thanks and carry on...
Biogen has admitted that she had PML, by way of a 8-K form already:

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/da...2762bie8vk.htm

Even if it is ultimately IRIS that killed her, that doesn't make things any prettier. PML, IRIS . . . they are BOTH wicked "side-effects", and that would just mean that Tysabri caused a double-whammy for her.

Biogen's spokespeople have also announced her death in many articles:

http://www.newstin.co.uk/tag/uk/94432260

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...L+patient+dies

Form 8-K "is the current report companies must file with the SEC to announce major events that shareholders should know about." Shareholders already know this lady had PML, so there may be no further obligation to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when a person dies from a previously reported medically induced disease.
