chiesa52 132 Posted December 23, 2016 The thing is, they are saying that it happened 15 minutes before landing, and they were giving her CPR the whole time before the plane landed- that doesn't sound good at all- she was rushed to the hospital;, but still, that's pretty bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 23, 2016 Come on Fisher. If you have to go, please at least hold on for eight days. All I'm asking. Don't think it's likely sadly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImNotHades 207 Posted December 23, 2016 Lots of people have huge heart attacks and still live normally. Some of them are in their 80's now. At least she'll have material for another autobiography. Now that I haven't lost my hope yet I know she'll die for sure.....it always happens. Maybe not tonight but Xmas seems to be a good day to Die Hard. Cough cough.

GossipGabe 333 Posted December 23, 2016 The BBC's take on it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38423963 Let's just count. The heart attack happened 15 minutes before the plane landed and a further 15 before they could get a pulse. 15 plus 15 equals 30 minutes, in other words, her brain is basically fucked. Even if she were to (miraculously) survive the next 72 hours, she'll likely end up like Terri Schiavo, in a permanent vegetative state on life support until the end of her life.
