Her eyes appear to be narrower than the norm. That is not diagnostic of FAS; however, with the other apparent signs it does point strongly to her having been exposed to significant amounts of alcohol in the womb.Does this crazy girls eyes really show the characteristics of fetal alcohol syndrome
The philtrum is the structure in the middle of the upper lip. Fetal alcohol exposure causes it to flatten and smooth out.not to sound dumb but what is smooth philtrum.
Among others, learning disabilities, poor impulse control, poor social perception, and poor judgment.Also what kind of mental disability would a person have from this..
I know I could Google it but the people here at DD always seem to explain things better.. Thanks in advance..

There is some data concerning FAS on Wikipedia, including two images of people displaying the stigmata. There is, as always, much more information available at the pages linked to in the Wiki article.

I chased some links. Reports are she died of natural causes after a long illness. No further details.Now I wonder what the deceased died of.

Geez - that last picture of Tabatha is stunning, and I kill for that hair! Completely shallow of me I know, what can I say, I'm in an odd mood today!
There are two main types of caskets- half-couch, which is what you described with a lid that's split in the middle, and full-couch, in which the lid is one piece. The casket in this story must have been full-couch, which allows for viewing the entire body instead of just the upper half.Unless the casket the deceased was in was totally different from the ones I'm used to seeing, getting to her feet was one helluva feat, pun intended. Most bodies are closed in by the top of the casket from the abdomen to the feet with only the chest, head and arms exposed. I can see how she slashed a breast...OFF?...but getting to the feet had to involve nearly pulling the body completely out of the casket, just damn! That was one helluva PLATONIC relationship. MY ASS, something else was going on here. Tho I really just cannot imagine just what.
Sims was arrested at the dead woman's apartment after she attended the viewing on April 30. Police said Sims also stole the dead woman's shoes and was carrying a knife with the woman's hair attached to it.
Witnesses told officers they saw Sims reach into the casket during the viewing. The dead woman's face was found slashed from her hairline to the tip of her nose, her makeup was smeared and her hair was on the floor, police said. The additional mutilation of the woman's body was discovered as it was being prepared for cremation.
It's unclear what happened to the body parts Sims is accused of removing, and Tulsa Police Sgt. Shane Tuell said Monday authorities are still trying to get Sims to talk.
"We're unfortunately at square one," Tuell said.
One of the relatives of the deceased woman, JuliAnn Nixon, said she'd be able to "sleep better tonight" knowing Sims would be in jail.
"I don't want to see her walking free; I want to see her in jail," Nixon said after the hearing.
After looking at photographs of what Shaynna Lauren Sims did at a Tulsa funeral home two years ago, an Oklahoma jury on Friday found her guilty of five charges related to mutilating a corpse.
On April 30, 2015, Sims gained entry to the funeral home by telling the dead woman’s family she was a makeup artist preparing the body for viewing.
But instead, she cut off Tabatha Lynch’s breasts, a toe and locks of hair, and slashed her forehead. She stole her shoes, too.
Sims allegedly thought her husband had cheated on her with Lynch.
“In all these years I’ve worked in the funeral industry, I’ve never seen that happen,” testified Greg Lee, funeral director at Moore’s Eastlawn Funeral Home, where the desecration took place.
Funeral home staffers reportedly didn’t realize Sims had removed body parts until they went to prepare Lynch’s body for cremation. She died of natural causes at age 38.
Police identified Sims, who is 28, as the culprit.
“I didn’t even know she’d be capable of doing that,” Sims’ now-estranged husband, Monty Smith, testified at trial.
According to the Tulsa World, prosecutors argued that Sims wanted retribution because she thought Smith was cheating on her with Lynch, an accusation Smith has denied. Authorities described the two women as “frenemies.”
Family members told police they saw Sims with her hands inside the casket at the funeral home, reported News on 6 in Tulsa.
“The funeral director informed us that the deceased’s body was in a viewing room when some friends and family came to pay their respects,” Leland Ashley, a Tulsa Police Department spokesman, told NBC News at the time of Sims’ arrest in 2015.
“When they entered, they observed at least one female with their hands inside the casket.”
Hair was found on the floor near the casket; Lynch’s makeup was smeared on her face.
There was also “a large vertical cut starting from the hairline stretching to the tip of the nose,” according to the arrest report.
Sims was also charged with burglary because she went to Lynch’s apartment afterward and posed as a funeral home worker to Lynch’s family so she could steal the woman’s jewelry.
When police patted her down, they found a folding knife on Sims that contained hair matching the hair next to Lynch’s casket, according to News on 6. She also reportedly had scissors, a box cutter and “various pieces of makeup.”
In closing arguments Sims’ attorney said his client was “not in the right state of mind” because she was humiliated and embarrassed by her husband’s adultery, the World reported.
The jury recommended Sims serve 16 years in prison on a total of five counts, including seven years in prison for first-degree burglary and five years for unlawfully removing a body part from someone who is deceased.
Sentencing is scheduled for June 1.
