What could mother have died from?

My mother died some years ago. She was the most healthest 77year old you could know. Five months before her death she started getting sick to her stomach. We took her to many doctors and they found nothing wrong with her. One said it was depression and put her on an antidepressant pill. One day while she was at my home still feeling ill she fell over on my couch moaning. I took her to the emergency room and they thought it was her gall bladder. In the hospital they tested it and said that wasn't it. Next they said it was her heart Tested and not it. Next put her in ICU 3 days later she died.Five doctors there could not find anything. 3 siblings wanted autopsy and 3 said no! Mother always told us never to have that done all her life! Before death white blood cell count up in millions.Could have had heredity disease that in later life could affect my sisters and brothers? I don't know what happened to her! In this day and age how can that be? It will always be a mystery.

For your mother's white blood cell count to be that high she must have had an undiagnosed virus or illness.As the white blood cells fight infection. The only way to find out for sure was by autopsy, unfortunately it is now too late.

I doubt very much that it was a hereditary illness as they are normally diagnosed and the illness would have to be of a genetic type to effect you and your siblings. Genetic illnesses don't usually affect the white blood cells.
