Summary of Fatal Pathology | Death Cases
Victims
Laurie Jean Mathiason
Laurie Jean Mathiason was born on April 23, 1977. Laurie Jean died
needlessly, on February 7, 1998. The cause of her death, at age 20, was
a stroke caused by the dangerous practice of a chiropractic upper neck
manipulation. This useless twisting of the upper neck is performed on
everyone from newborn babies to senior citizens as a panacea for all
disease. In Laurie's case she suffered from pain in the lowest part of
her back, and yet the chiropractor "treated" her by twisting the upper
part of her neck, an area where she never had any pain. Chiropractors
have been successful in convincing politicians in North America that
they are "doctors". Laurie and others have been misled because of this
classification of chiropractors as doctors. It is the hope of Laurie's
family and the families of the many other victims that these useless
and dangerous "procedures" will be banned so that others do not have to
suffer death or permanent severe disability.
