A Friend Recently Died Of Hemorrhagic Shock Due To DIC.

A friend recently died of hemorrhagic shock due to DIC. The doctors began blood transfusions and introducing coagulants? Why didn't this stop the bleeding? We believe the DIC was caused by an untreated tooth infection. How did the infection trigger the DIC and how quickly would it have developed?
