This gave me a lot to think about. It hard to think someone died and everyone just assumed that she's probably doing what she always does "cut us off". It doesn't sit well with me.
I don't know her, but I wonder if she didn't have just one person who had reason to worry that they didn't hear from her for that long.
I do not have friends but I know 1 or 2 people who would worry if I'm gone for a certain period of time.
