Woman buried in Lusso
The headlines should have read "Lussotania sinks again!"

Don't know, but I assume that she had some time to plan. How many 37 years olds would have been so elaborate if they didn't know it was coming?donv wrote:How did she die?
From Time Magazine in May of 1977...
<<Like Egypt's King Tutankhamen, who had a couple of golden chariots buried near him when he died in 1352 B.C., Californian Sandra Ilene West is journeying to the hereafter in style. Oil Heiress West died two months ago (the cause has not been determined) at the age of 37. Last week Mrs. West was buried, as she requested, "in my lace nightgown ... in my Ferrari, with the seat slanted comfortably." At the San Antonio cemetery where her husband is also buried, several hundred awed spectators looked on as a gray-painted wooden crate, 6 ft. by 8 ft. by 17 ft., was lowered into the ground by a crane. To deter any grave robbers cum 1964 Ferrari buffs, the crate was covered with concrete. And so another gas guzzler bites the dust.>>

Found it. You are correct Sir! I've found three different newspapers that claim three different things (aftereffects of a 1976 car accident, natural causes, OD). I'll go with the Coroner's inquest which says OD.T308 wrote:Source?Rudy van Daalen Wetters wrote:Sandra Ilene West "died in California from a suspected drug overdose".

I'll post a jpg shortly. Her doctor said she had "become psychotic lately". Why is it that I think of Bill Murray in Caddyshack when i read that??
