Toxic Lady

Gloria Ramirez was a housewife from California whose cause of death remains a mystery to this day.

At approximately 8:15 p.m. on the evening of February 19, 1994, Gloria was rushed into ER after affects of her cervical cancer had caused her to have an abnormal heart rate and breathing difficulties. Staff immediately injected her with several drugs: diazepam, midazolam, and lorazepam. This sedated her, but medics noticed that she was not responding to the drugs and her condition was worsening. That’s when a nurse took bloods from her arm and noticed a smell of Ammonia coming from the tube.

The nurse passed the test tube to a doctor who noticed strange particles floating around in the blood. They were “unlike anything” he had ever seen. Furthermore, staff noted that there was a fruity, garlic-like smell coming from her mouth and that her skin was excessively greasy. After this, nurses started fainting and doctors had to leave the room because they felt so ill. Nobody knew what was happening, only that Gloria’s body was emitting a foul-smelling odour that seemed to be making everybody nauseous. The staff evacuated all emergency room patients to the parking lot outside the hospital. Overall, 23 people became ill and 5 were hospitalised.

At 8:50 p.m., Gloria Ramirez was pronounced dead. She had died from kidney failure, but to this day nobody knows what caused her strange condition or if it played a part in her unusual death.

I lived near this building when this happened 😱
