The medical team - nine doctors working in unison with X-ray technicians, phlebotomists and nurses - could not explain why Audrey's heart was failing.Īudrey and Kelsey Ellis were born on March 17, 1991, in Berkeley, Calif.
And Audrey had always been health conscious she worked as a transplant nurse in Denver. Just six months earlier, she had run a marathon with her twin sister, Kelsey. She was physically fit and had been in perfect health. She died of multiple organ failure five days after.Īudrey, the incapacitated young woman in the ICU, had just celebrated her 29th birthday. That evening, Audrey was incorrectly diagnosed with pneumonia.
