Kathy Denise Murphy
Seventeen-year-old Kathy went to Inglewood Women's Hospital in Los Angeles County for a safe and legal abortion on August 24, 1973.
During the days after her abortion, Kathy suffered breathing problems
and became semi-conscious, so Inglewood staff trasferred her by ambulance
to Centinela Hospital on September 7.
Later that night, Cetinela transferred Kathy back to Inglewood, where
John Dupont pronouced her dead at 1:20 on the morning of September 8.
The autopsy found that Kathy had died of sepsis from the abortion; her
cervix and uterus were infected, and her cervix covered with greenish-black
pus.
Other women who died after abortions at Inglewood include Belinda Byrd, Cora Lewis, Lynette Wallace, and Elizabeth Tsuji.
