While these are surprising improvements, he shared that doctors shared the heartbreaking news that they don’t expect further improvement. Aside from this devastating news, they are also clueless as to how the cardiac arrest was caused while in rehab. Her early toxicology reports showed no drugs in her system, but officials were waiting for a full report before sealing the door on the cause.
The family is plotting to have Willis relocated to St. George, Utah, to be closer to her family during her ongoing care. The GoFundMe for Willis has reached its $60,000 goal and passed it by close to $10k, with a total of 1.2k donations.
