I have heard the story from friends of the woman. They seem to believe that there were some very worrying questions about treatment that would have been answered at a coronial inquest in another country but were not answered here, given Cambodian facilities. To claim she died through any malpractice on Christie's part would be libelous, since it was never able to be properly investigated. However, there were some question marks followed by exclamation marks surrounding the case that people close to the woman would have liked answers to and will never get now.
The family were too grief stricken to push for further investigation at the time, as far as I can make out, and with no refrigeration facilities and a limited autopsy capacity, there isn't much time to change your mind in Cambodia.
It seems she was enjoying a healthy pregnancy when she apparently died of massive internal bleeding. The baby died too. That's why I find Christie's previous work (again representing herself as a doctor) for the AUSAid funded CCJAP project on autopsies and the keeping of bodies in order for police to gather evidence so interesting. This means that if Ingrid had died at Surya where she had been undergoing treatment instead of being rushed to SOS for her final minutes when it was obviously too late, Gloria could no doubt have helped the family and friends find more evidence about the cause of death by using her CCJAP experience and, I am sure, cleared up all their doubts.
I do so hope Gloria is going to continue to specialize in obstetrics and pediatrics at this new practice. Judging from the experiences of some on this board, she can't tell cancer from a cold, a serious assault from a sore throat, and when in doubt guesses Dengue or typhoid and hopes for the best. But by God she's white.
Josef Mengele would have had a field day here going on that theory. He must have kicked himself, choosing Brazil instead of Cambodia.
