Thursday Morning

Many of you have asked the cause of death, we are waiting to hear from the corner. Sharon's body was discovered on Friday, January 27, by her neighbor. The coroner contacted her work, and the temp agency gave the coroner Travis Pike as her emergency contact.

Travis said it appears that Sharon died probably on 1/20 or 1/21. Her boss had told her to take a few days off becuase of the cold in her eye and therefore he was not aware that there was a problem.

Last night, I remembered I recieved e-mails from Sharon a week previously that she had a terrible cold/flu and couldn't go to lunch. My personal guess is that she had pnuenomia but don't quote me on that...

According to IWOSC president Flo Selfman:

I spoke to Sharon on Friday morning. She called me at home to talk about a problem we're having with the board minutes (as you probably know, she was IWOSC secretary). We were on the phone for an hour or so, and then she said, "I could talk to you forever, but I have to get back to work." Sharon was at the IWOSC board meeting on Jan. 9, and I saw "Good Night and Good Luck" at Fox with her on Jan. 11. We were yakking in the cold afterward and would have talked longer but we were both tired and she needed to get on the road.

The Kern County Sheriff's dept. located three first cousins in Wash. State; they and their mother (whose husband was Sharon's mother's brother, so she's not a blood relative) seem to be Sharon's only relatives. I've been on the phone with her cousin Shana a few times at length; Shana is going down to Bakersfield and Frazier Park tomorrow and Friday.

Sharon told me quite a bit of information when I took her to Kaiser the last week in December. I'm seraching my database in my head to see how I can help.
