I know of a woman in her late 50s, fell and hurt her wrist, the fall dislodged a “blot clot” and she died within 2 days of the original her fall.
Never in my life have I heard of such a thing.

I don't know what a blot clot is, but an embolus is a blood clot, air bubble, or other matter carried in the bloodstream that can lodge in a vessel, causing a blockage
When my brother had his heart attack, the cardiologist told him he suspected that a piece of plaque had come loose ( he has had very high cholesterol for years). Where it came off, the body tries to heal that area in the vessel - kind of like a scab on a cut. That was the clot that then broke loose and caused the attack.

This isn't common, but it does happen. My wife is an ER nurse and has seen this a few times.

Pro wrestler Chris Candido died of a broken ankle.
A blood clot dislodged, traveled to his heart, and he was gone.
Which is why they tell you not to fly on planes shortly after surgery. He did, and he died.
Oh, bugger. I have a cold and I’m flying tomorrow.
RIP
Dis-ease of mind. Change your mind. You'll be fine.

Having surgery and a cold are two different things.
