1980: Minimal information on CDC death

“Ilene” is only known because of one single line of CDC data.

According to the CDC, Ilene was 35 to 39 at the time of her death. She was of Asian and/or Pacific Islander descent. The CDC confirmed that she was killed by a legal abortion in 1980.

Life Dynamics gave her the name on their Blackmun Wall, and Kevin Sherlock published a data table in The Scarlet Survey that contained a consistent death.

Nothing further is known about her.
