Michael Moore.com : Mike's Message : Mike's Latest News: "TUCSON, Ariz. – A 45-year-old woman collapsed and died days after learning her son had been killed in Iraq, and just hours after seeing his body.

Results of an autopsy were not immediately released, but friends of Karen Unruh-Wahrer said she couldn't stop crying about the death of her 25-year-old son, Army Spc. Robert Oliver Unruh, who was killed by enemy fire near Baghdad on Sept. 25.

"Her grief was so intense – it seemed it could have harmed her, could have caused a heart attack. Her husband described it as a broken heart," said Cheryl Hamilton, manager of respiratory care services at University Medical Center, where Mrs. Unruh-Wahrer worked as a respiratory therapist.

Spc. Unruh, a combat engineer, had been in Iraq for less than a month when he was shot during an attack on his unit."
