November 6, 200817 yr While watching her favorite team, the Blackhawks, play at the United Center on Monday, Marguerite Kuhlman collapsed and later died. Patricia and Dorothea Kuhlman said that even more peculiar than the death of their sister, 68, at the hockey game is the fact that their mother died under similar circumstances nearly 22 years ago. Mildred Kuhlman died March 30, 1986, while attending a Blackhawks game at Chicago Stadium, Patricia Kuhlman said. "We've been hockey fans for many, many years," Patricia Kuhlman said. "People laugh at us because we're old ladies who like to go to hockey games." The sisters—who own season tickets just 15 rows off the ice—were all scheduled to attend the game Monday. But the two older Kuhlman sisters instead had to attend a meeting of election judges, and Marguerite Kuhlman went to the game with a neighbor. Dorothea Kuhlman said the neighbor told them that during the game Marguerite Kuhlman slumped over in her seat and emergency officials were called. She was taken to Rush University Medical Center, where she died at 8:25 p.m. On Tuesday, the medical examiner's office said she died of heart disease. Edited November 6, 200817 yr by juddling
