    Her diet was severely lacking in vital nutrients. When you have so much fibre and so little dense calories, for a decade, that adds up.

      Eh true but considering she didn’t drink water (only coconut) and caught some cholera disease, well, that’s a recipe for disaster. That would be dangerous no matter for how long what kind of diet, cholera dehydrates you fast and you need to replenish electrolytes too.

      Yeah but the immediate cause of death will be something else.

      As an example, smoking generally does not kill you. It prepares your body to be trivially killed a by a plethora of other things, such as cancer or 2 tons in the face when you were distracted while driving because your cig fell into your lap. But the smoking itself isn’t the proximate cause of the death.
