I wish the article had better support and citations, but I find the story to be fascinating anyway.

I first read about this several years ago, and back then the conclusion was mass hysteria.

Looks like they updated it now with the theory that her self-injected medication had a freak chemical reaction to the hospital. That's more plausible.

"the staff tried to defibrillate her heart; at that point several people[who?] saw an oily sheen covering Ramirez's body, and some noticed a fruity, garlic-like odor that they thought was coming from her mouth. Registered nurse Susan Kane drew blood from Ramirez's arm and noticed an ammonia-like smell coming from the tube"

Holy smokes, imagine being that toxic that even your blood stinks O.O
