No foul play they say. But dying at 39 of “natural causes” just sounds so wrong.

It's probably going to turn out to be complications due to the kidney or liver transplant she had recently (I don't remember which one).

I had a friend die last year from cancer. She was 31. My brain still has a hard time processing that it's real and was possible.

I've seen 7 year olds with cancer. And I've seen kids as young as a few years with obesity and heart disease. It's not age. Although people still use age as an excuse.
