She died of septic poisoning following a vascular operation on her left leg.

Jeez. That surgery sounds routine.

Surgery on someone who is 81 years old is never routine. The risks of complications is much greater.

The formal obituary speaks about a lengthy illness. This is part of the reason that WFB has retired from public appearances.

Really. The incidence of infections, sometimes deadly, in American hospitals is rising and I would be interested if somone could explain why. It sounds like Mrs. Buckley died because she was in that hospital. I guess people just have to start insisting that the hospital staff wash their hands and done a mask when they enter your room.
