The doctor's came to the conclusion that something must have been introduced into her body to affect her that way. Sunny had never shown any signs of be diabetic. .
Sunny had regained consciousness days after the doctors had stabilized her blood sugar. They proceeded then to do all kinds of tests on her to find out why she had lapsed into a coma. Sunny had told the doctors that she did not inject herself with insulin. That she did not have a drinking problem. She did tell them that she had a fondness for sweets. .
The doctors concluded that she was hypoglycemic. Her body could produce insulin, so she couldn't go too long without eating or eat too many sweets or she could go into another coma.
Maria was the only person who was suspicious at this time. She didn't think Claus had acted right during the incident. She kept her suspicions to herself and never told anyone. Yet, several weeks later, she was cleaning out a closet and found a black bag that was used by Claus. Inside the black bag was a case that had powder, pills, and a liquid container. .
Maria took the case to Alexander, who in turn after documented everything, took the case to the family doctor. The doctor identified the pills as Valium; the liquid was Valium as well. The powder was a substance called barbiturate secobarbital. The Valium and the barbiturate secobarbital were not in forms unavailable by the pharmacy. It had to be illicit drugs.
In 1980, Maria found insulin in the bag. She had been keeping an eye on the bag since the first incident. She went to Alexander with the bag this time. She did not say anything to Sunny or Claus.
After Christmas, Sunny had retired to bed early. She fell into another coma, this time, being her last. Claus kept making excuses as to why they should take her off of the life support. Her children would not let the doctors take her off. Claus could not argue any longer about the life support, because Sunny had started breathing on her own.
