Final Answers
“A Los Angeles County coroner determines by simple observation that Nancy died of injuries sustained in the accident, which means there’s no need for an autopsy. I’m relieved, but still unable to accept her death. She was driving a new Mercedes, equipped with the most advanced safety systems: an air bag, anti-lock brakes, energy-absorbing body, deforming steering column, seat belts. “How?” I protest. “How could she be dead?”
The coroner gently reminds me that these features don’t really come int...o play until impact. In Nancy’s case, spinning out of control on the wet road snapped her head sideways into the window and door post with such force that fatal injuries resulted prior to any impact. Results of tests for alcohol and drugs will be forthcoming. Her body is released to a local mortuary, which arranges to have it shipped to Boston.
The funeral is tomorrow.
It’s late afternoon when the girls and I arrive at Logan International. I stare at the travelers hurrying about the terminal, wondering how many are on a similar journey.MoreLess
