19. Is it just me, or does this statement imply that she was in China BEFORE the cardiac arrest.

Please note the word that I'm using here - "imply" as in being said purposefully.

It does not say when she actually went to China, and I thought she was said to have gone to China after McConnell was picked up by ambulance. It wouldn't make sense that she went to China after her husband had experienced a cardiac arrest.

If she was in China and he had the cardiac arrest, wouldn't it be reasonable for a spouse to immediately return to take care of matters personally? So that doesn't make sense either.

None of that statement makes enough sense to make even an idiot believe it.
