Robert,

The following is text from Michael Kneebone relating to Fran's accident. 
The Walter mentioned is Fran's husband. After this report Fran was taken 
from us after she was given an incorrect i.v. by hospital staff. The blood 
thinning solution put her into a coma and she was later removed from life 
support. While the helmet did not cause her death, she probably would still 
be with us if she was wearing a conventional full face.
