Only 45 ? Why did she die so young ? -- Derek Ross | Talk

Well, that's not so short life. She lived longer than most of the notable people of her time, including her husband and her daughter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.250.116.18 (talk) 20:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sickness

) Most historians believe that she died of a sickness. I think I've heard 'dropsy' mentioned, but I'm not entirely sure what it is.

It is the shortened form of hydropsy, now known as edema, and refers to an excessive build up of fluids in connective tissues. The sufferer would appear abnormally bloated. Rcpaterson 01:39, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
