This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

I did a check, and it seems to be a real case, single case. I found references to it all over the web.

Hello Cure,
This sounds really scary at first, although thankfully if it is the only recorded case I don't think we should worry unduly about it.
Do any of the other examples you mentioned give any more details about the cause of death? If not, there seems to be a gap in their reasoning – the article simply states that a woman was found dead sunbathing. She also had MS lesions. They provide no evidence that the two are linked, only an unfounded but very strong implication, (I was originally going to be an advertising copywriter, so I know all about creating an assumption without actually saying it!).
Having said that, we know that raising the core temperature of someone with MS can greatly exaggerate symptoms: perhaps she overheated so much that she couldn't get up to move into the shade and dehydrated because she couldn't drink. MS can also affect certain autonomic functions like heart rate, so I suppose something like that could be to blame.

A very concerning case, but not a cause for panic, I hope,

yea i was coming up short on how they ruled out other causes of death than ms, because if i remember correctly my swiss cheese brain would have about the same description as hers, right now - actually it's probably worse.

but i haven't gotten at the full text yet, just the abstract. haven't had coffee this morning so i don't really care yet, will come back to it
