What like eating disorder?

More like epilepsy , but after thinking ...you may be correct; if she was severely dehydrated/malnourished maybe. They usually have a heart attack though. You never know unless they release real info.

I have epilepsy and I highly doubt she died from the seizure itself. Although they suck they usually aren’t deadly. My guess would be she either choked to death, the seizure led to a stroke or whatever caused her to have the seizure in the first place killed her. Seems odd she would just have one out of the blue especially while sleeping.
