Sunny von Bulow

Martha Sharp Crawford von Bulow (known as Sunny) was born on September 1, 1932 in Manassas, Virgina. Sunny is an American heiress and was a socialite and philanthropist. She was the wife of Claus von Bulow.

Since 1981, she has been in a persistent vegetative state, followed by a mysterious coma following that. When it was discovered that the coma was ascribed to hypoglycemia from injected insulin and a high publicized trial, her husband became convicted of attempted murder. Even when the evidence points heavily toward the husband, the conviction was still overturned by the court.

To this day, many aspects of Sunny's persistent vegetative state remain unexplained.
