Sad.I unfortunately learned a lot about brain anneurisms a couple of years ago. My friend's, neighbor's, (happens to be our Mayor) 14 year old daughter died of one July 30, 2002. I took him to the hospital and all went through all the tough activities the day of the incident. Later found that 70% of anneurisms are in females. Many can be treated successfully if caught in time. Most are due to heredity and drug use. My friend's wife was tested after the daughter's death and it was found she had a small one, as did her sister, but her brother was clean. They had another sister who had died a few years ago in an accident that they had written off to trama, but upon checking the records more closely, an anneurism may have caused that accident. After hearing this my wife, her mother and sister were checked and found to be OK. ------------------

All the females on my ex's mom's side of the family have had anneurisms. Only 1 male that I am aware of had one, but he was from the same side of the family. He had his one morning on the way to work, but fortunately got the car pulled over before dieing.
