Do You Believe the Woman Who Died In A Car Crash Was A Closet Drinker?

I think there some medical remedies available other than drinking because she has an abscessed tooth. I think the media sometime goes overboard and some people also have the right for privacy.

I don't know. I think it is just tragic. I agree the news people should give him space. I feel for the kids. It cannot be easy to have your moms name dragged through the mud so publicly.

yup the media can be rough on some

I don't think we'll ever know just what that lady's story is. it could be that she was in much pain and trying to self-medicate. It is odd tho that someone who doesn't normally drink at all would turn to that method and to such an extreme but who really knows. I do think the media can and should let the story drop unless they have some new evidence to add to the story. At this point it is all speculation. It is sad and tragic and I'm sure the family does not need a daily reminder.

Of course this is a terrible thing for anyone to live with, you can't help but try to blame yourself for not being as alert to his wife as he thinks he should have been. The fact is that she caused the accident, for whatever reason this is what happened and now he has to pick up and go on with life, it's very difficult. My heart and prayers go out to him.

A simple postmortem would have revealed the truth.

Well i did not read about this but yes it is very possible for a woman to be a closet drinker & a pot smoker.....There is a lot of men out there that has no idea what their women are doing...I am a woman & i know a lot of women that hide things from their husbands because they know he would not approve...and men do the same thing..

Last I heard there was evidence that she was drinking and smoking pot. I haven't heard anything about evidence of an abscessed tooth. But that would be interesting...

Hi elmiko~That horrific car crash happened not that far from where I live! I just don't believe that this woman who was responsible for speeding on the wrong side of the highway killing as many people as she did by hitting them head on was just merely a closet drinker and pot user! I also don't believe that her husband had no idea that she ever drank! I have had many abscessed teeth and I will agree that it is an unbelieveable pain like you can't imagine! She had no right to be driving anywhere if she indeed was in that much pain! But, to drive under the influence with a car full of children and then to lose control of her mind and to do what she did! There is no way that she never drank before or smoked pot and she had no right to be behind the wheel of a car! I believe her husband is lying so he doesn't have to face charges!

I totally agree that the media should lay off and let the family grieve. I wonder how he could not know that his wife was a drinker. But well I guess that's why they're called a closet drinker.
