00:00Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, leading first lady, was just 64 when she died of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
00:10World-acclaimed forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter is investigating the events that led to her death.
00:17From my investigations so far, I've learned that Jackie was a heavy smoker, which means statistically she had an increased risk of contracting lymphoma.
00:27Jackie had also endured immense trauma on the day of her husband's assassination, and it's highly likely this led to undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, highly likely a contributing factor in her illness.
00:42But I want to know why she died so quickly following diagnosis.
00:48Mid-March, 1994, New York, two and a half months before her death.
00:54Jackie starts to feel generally weak with pains in her legs.
00:59She has an MRI scan.
01:01It shows the lymphoma has gone from her neck, chest, and abdomen.
01:06But the cerebellum portion of her brain has now been affected by the cancer.
01:11The cancer has spread to the membranes that cover her brain and spinal cord.
01:15.
01:20.
01:21Then the brain is cold.
01:24.
01:24.
01:25I have no idea.
01:26I hope to see you next time.
01:27Bye-bye.
01:27Good night!
