Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pouring of black or brown liquid out of nose or mouth could be due to sub-arachnoid hemorrhage in the brain cavity. Since you are mentioning that she did not have pulse and stopped breathing, she might have had a massive hemorrhage due to rupture of some vital blood vessel in brain.
Such episodes are relatively common in people with hypertension, particularly if it is uncontrolled or on irregular treatment.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
