This is actually an older news story, and it does appear as though she recovered from this before her death.

If I make it beyond 50 that'll be it for me, I know I won't retire, with society in its current state. I'll happily drag that spreadsheet down a bit in return.

I think as a species with all the medical advancements in the last hundred years or so, we already live too long as is. Now I'm seeing articles proposing we may live to 120+ with incoming advancements in medicine? Nah, fuck that, I'll pass.
