Per Mar 20 headline, she is "comatose" but in article, per hosp., she is "brain dead."
Was creator of this "Comatose" headline an editor who did not read article stating "brain dead"?
Or did editor think two terms are synonyms? Notwithstanding quibbles w losangeles.cbslocal.com editing, does this story look familiar?

From Feb 17 article, she was in a coma, ~5 weeks earlier:
"A beloved wife and mother of seven is clinging to life Tuesday night after a medical emergency put her in a coma.
Lisa Avila, 36, is on life support in the intensive-care unit of Anaheim Regional Medical Center.
The family believes the hospital’s lack of proper care has nearly killed her.
Avila, who’s currently pregnant, was taken to the emergency room by her husband after she started experiencing abdominal pain."
