I just want to let all of you in the BB community know that my brother, Eric Otero, died from Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. This has a direct link to the disease known as Mitral Valve Prolapse, which our mother has. Eric had a root canal, and did not take antibiotics 3 days prior to the procedure. Eric lived almost a year after this surgery.
It truly saddened my entire family to read some of the horrible posts that we read after Eric died. We went to the internet for comfort - looking at all of Eric's accomplishments that had been put on the internet - and our pain was doubled reading all of that.
I just wanted to post the final truth, as was given to me by the Chief Medical Examiner in San Antonio, Texas - hopefully you will spread the truth in Eric's honor for our family.
