They said she crashed into the second floor of that house. How fast do you have to go to catch that much air after hitting a curb?

Spoken like a guy from Louisiana.

In other places, sometimes the rooftops are below street level.

I'm confused, how do you get brain damage from burns.

It was smoke inhalation

It's really sad that she had these problems. I saw her in a Hallmark movie called One Christmas Eve. She was cute and funny in it. She obviously had many issues.

I hope they can find some organs to donate, so at least some good comes from this.

Anyone watch Chicago PD?

You'd probably remember her -

Interesting just strange to see her being taken out alert and on her hands and knees on a stretcher to now dead

I'm seeing conflicting reports. A few minutes ago I saw a story that she was declared dead and just now see a story that she is still alive, but declared brain dead.

From that story they are checking to see if any of her organs not damaged in the crash can be used to help others since she was an "Organ Donor".

The brain damage is from a total lack of oxygen. Anoxic brain injury is what she has. Per the internet, brain cells start to die after four minutes with no oxygen. And she was in that burning car for an hour.

She's is brain dead on life support. They are keeping her on life support until they can determine what organs are viable for donation.

My guess would be that Ellen played the "man's role" in that marriage.
