What Causes Bloody Liquid Discharge From Mouth And Nose Followed By Death?

Ya my mom passed away on 1-29-14,, she had been in and out of the hospital a lot and had arthritis,congestive heart failure, and she was diabetic and on a lot of different medications too, but events leading to her doing were I picked her up from dialysis and she complained about her head hurting and had been not able to keep anything down and just a lot of weight loss to and well, at the point before her passing she needed a lot of help in the bathroom and I was lucky to have my gf there at the time and she helped her in the bathroom and to her room and like just maybe a few minutes I went to check on her and had no response and saw some like clear liquid coming outta her mouth and nose with little blood and idk she wasn t breathing or responding and we called 911 and did what they told us until paramedics arrived but they tried for 45minutes and nothing they could do. I just have been trying to figure out what happened I just so confused and lost on it, I mean what was coming outta her mouth and nose?

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your mother. It is possible that she suffered a massive stroke at the time just before her death. Stroke can cause rupture of blood vessels and this can often lead to leakage of fluid which is blood like. through the nose are mouth. The head hurting can also be due to the bleeding inside the head and this made her call for attention. Sudden stopping of breathing can have a cause in the brain in most cases.
