If I remember what I heard at the time (yep, I'm one of the old ones here at 60).....she was actually recovering at the time she died but had done so much damage to her body that it couldn't take it any longer....one of the reasons we can't just think that we'll be ok if we can just recover.....we always have to think of the damage we are doing to our bodies.....not something we think of when we are in the middle of the ED.....that's why so many keep reminding us.
