Dear Bonnie,

Hello, Yes there was a coroner's inquest and I have copies of the report which also includes the emergency room records and police report. These records also indicate that she had no social security number and a transcribed interview with her son, my grandfather, where he states she was living on "an old age pension".

I have her newspaper obituary, there were no other write ups concerning her death since it was ruled death by natural causes.
