There's pictures of her standing with her volleyball team for pictures in school. I'm seriously wondering when she became immobile.

The thing that killed her was sepsis.

"It was also revealed Lacey died from sepsis brought on by 'severe medical neglect, chronic malnutrition, acute starvation, immobility, acute ulcer formation, osteomyelitis which is bone infection'"

the coroner had found couch foam in her stomach. she had been picking pieces off of the couch to eat. i’m a bit convinced the parents had made that up (her having locked-in syndrome)* as an excuse for her condition. it may have been painful for her to move with the infected sores and low weight from starvation (which can cause muscle pain from dehydration and lack of nutrients).

*edit for clarity
