But Ella's lungs had become a bit like a mucus factory.
Stephen looked for signs of what might have been irritating her lungs so much, like a bacterial or fungal infection.
But nothing could explain this.
But then a new clue emerged, away from the lab.
Something that clinched it for him.
An air pollution station.
It was monitoring stuff like nitrogen dioxide, which gets spewed out by London traffic and can damage lung cells.
Now, by this point, Rosamund already had a lawyer to help out with Ella's case.
And so her legal team and Stephen got to work.
Here's what they did.
They matched up the pollution levels for the days surrounding when Ella would have these really bad attacks.
And bam.
Oh, gosh.
The team found a pattern.
So Ella's attacks would come in these clusters, and mostly they hit when pollution levels were particularly high.
Much higher than the World Health Organization sets for maximum safe levels of pollution, and higher than the UK government is supposed to allow.
And in the days before Ella died, the pollution levels were bonkers in her neighborhood.
Through his academic research, Stephen had suspected that air pollution might have played a role here.
But now, here was the evidence.
