Her death is sending out ripples of acknowledgment and grief. I wish she was still here. The world was better when she was walking around on it, breathing its air, being with the rest of us. This is so untimely. I want to know what she was meant to write these next 20 years.

"This is so untimely. I want to know what she was meant to write these next 20 years."

Yes! It's so terribly untimely, and a loss to the human race, that so many more people who might have been touched by her presence and her future works will miss out.

I just heard the short version on NPR -- was it really just a fall in her own home that killed her? Just a stupid accident? Seems wrong in so many ways.

What I've read is that it was probably a stroke that caused her to fall. A neighbor child found her and summoned help. She was taken to an ER where it was determined that there was a brain hemorrhage of some type, but she couldn't be rescusitated, and OMG, I have just sounded out two words I've never been able to spell on the first try, and y'know, I don't care that much.

Thanks for the more complete info. I wondered if there wasn't more to it, but somehow, a stroke doesn't make her death make any more sense. It's all such a tragic waste.
