Since Summer did not smoke, she believed that the 9/11 events were to blame for her lung cancer. When the towers were attα1cked, she apartment in central Manhattan. She recalled the incident by saying,
“I was really freaked odut by the horrific experiences of that day,” she said of the experience. “I couldn’t go out; I didn’t want to talk to anybody. I had to keep the blinds down and stay in my bedroom. I went to church and light came back into my soul. That heaviness was gone.”
Even though the family denied it, after she passed away, reports surfaced regarding how smoking was a contributing factor in her lung cancer.
Representative Brian Edward stated:
“Various reports currently surfacing about the cause of Ms. Summer’s deαth are not accurate,” “Obviously, numerous factors can be attributed to the cause of cancer in general, but any details regarding the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of Ms. Summer’s case remain between her family and team of doctors.”
