-- From "Woman, 21, dies after taking contraceptive pill that 'caused fatal blood clot'" by Lizzie Dearden, UK Independent 5/25/15
[Kurek] was taken to Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield, where doctors said the pill was the probable cause of the blood clot on her lung.
A brain scan revealed there was no activity because of oxygen starvation and after three days in intensive care, her parents [Julia and Brian Kurek] made the decision to turn off her life support on 14 May.
The link between combined contraceptives and blood clots has been known for several decades and is closely monitored by international regulators.
The risk of blood clots varies depending on the type of hormone pills contain, ranging from five to 12 cases of blood clots per 10,000 women who use them for a year.
The family wants to raise awareness of the potential side effects, he said, adding: “We can’t bring her back, all we can do is maybe save another life.”

From "Teaching assistant, 21, 'killed by contraceptive pill'" posted at UK Telegraph 5/25/15
. . . Her worried father Brian, 52, took her to Sir John Peel Hospital in Tamworth for a check-up where she was given an electrocardiogram (ECG) but four days later she began getting breathless again and collapsed on the stairs of her home . . . earlier this month after vomiting and turning blue as she struggled to breathe.
Paramedics arrived and began carrying out tests on the still conscious Miss Kurek, but within minutes they switched to emergency CPR when she stopped breathing.
She was rushed to Good Hope Hospital's intensive care unit, where she was put on a ventilator and emergency scans on her head and chest took place.
The scan revealed she had a large clot on her lung, causing the right side of her heart to become inflamed, and that she was now clinically brain dead.
