Story didn't say how the bacteria progressed.

No way she died from it just being on her butt I'm assuming. Did it eat away a large portion of her skin or does it go internal?

Can't put together a timeline with the limited facts. I'm guessing maybe two months from noticing the spot to death?

Anyone familiar with necrotizing fasciitis?

I find it incredibly difficult to believe a person is being killed by flesh eating bacteria but wakes up and makes lunch for her husband the same day she passes away.

Yea, not a chance. She would have looked like death warmed over if it progressed that quickly.

Not sure what the cause of death would be here. Not enough info.

Incredibly painful. Awful skin infection with breakdown and necrosis.

Scruffy is not sure how quickly this progressed, but if she was still able to move around and carry on her daily life, she must have been one tough woman.

Likely felt sick, more than a sore on her arse. Was septic, kept chugging through her day. Probably passed out early am and died.

Yea that didn't make much sense. Usually when it kills it has eaten a large portion of flesh and the person has been in the hospital for days
