COOLIDGE, Texas — Fairfield, Texas radio employee Jenifer Cleveland died of "sudden cardiac death of uncertain etiology" following her IV therapy from a Wortham med spa back in July, according to the autopsy results viewed exclusively by 6 News.
The autopsy document wasn't released to the public because it is a part of an on-going Grand Jury investigation in Freestone County, but 6 News was granted permission to view the report.
In it, it states that the manner at which Cleveland died was "undetermined."
"No definitive anatomical or toxicological cause of death was identified," the report said. "She was reportedly receiving intravenous therapy when she became unresponsive," said the autopsy summary completed at American Forensics in Mesquite, Texas.
"It is unknown if testing was performed on the fluid infused or the infusion device," the autopsy summary states.
On July 10, Cleveland went to Luxe Med Spa and received IV therapy from spa owner Amber Johnson, according to the Texas Medical Board. The board claimed Cleveland received an IV infusion containing Vitamin B complex, ascorbic acid, cyanocobalamin and TPN electrolytes.
"TPN electrolyte solution requires a prescription and is known to cause complications due to potassium chloride in it," the board said.
Shortly after the IV was given, Cleveland became unresponsive. She was taken to the hospital in Mexia where she later died, police said.
"The administration of IV therapy cannot be definitely ruled in or ruled out as contributory at this time," the report said.
The report went into detail about the possibility of a heart defect or abnormality saying, "Cardiomegaly was identified at autopsy and may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death."
"Sudden cardiac death may also be related to certain cardiac arrhythmias, which may be asymptomatic and include such entities as long QT syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or other potentially lethal heritable cardiac channelopathies associated with structurally normal hearts."
Ultimately the medical examiner concluded, "Generally, no abnormality is detected at autopsy to definitively diagnose these conditions."
Following Cleveland's death, the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended the license of Dr. Michael Patrick Gallagher on Oct. 12. Through his credentials, Johnson was able to order TPN and other prescription solutions, as well as administer the IV to Cleveland, the board said.
