  1. My research tracks social movement-related deaths in Bolivia from 1982 to the present: 24 people died from tear gas or tear gas canister impacts. That's 1 of every 11 people killed by the state during protest. @CarwilBJ/1270171535848996864

      Tear gas itself caused 15 of the deaths, where blunt trauma from canisters caused 8 or 9. Both are potentially deadly.

        Six of the people who died from tear gas inhalation finally succumbed to medial complications from two to seven days later, often due to aggravating the victim's medical conditions.

          So a delayed biological response to pepper spray, which people fear killed Sarah Grossman, strikes me as plausible.
