Comments
Rolanda Pierce was pronounced dead on June 8, 2004 at 3:17 a.m. at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital from an aneurysm that ruptered her aorta. An autopsy showed that the aneurysm was brought on by Marfan syndrome. Marfan syndrome prevents the normal production of the protein fibrillin-1, which helps build elastic fibers necessary for the function of flexible structures such as blood vessels. The aorta is often affected, which is why those diagnosed with the syndrome are advised to avoid vigorous sports.
