According to a story in USA Today Thursday (Oct. 28), Lisa's mother, Louise Blount of Cabot, who found her daughter in the bedroom of her Hillcrest house around 2 p.m. Wednesday (Oct. 27), told RadarOnline that Lisa had battled a rare and painful blood disorder called Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), for 17 years. ITP keeps blood from clotting and leads to bleeding and bruising.
