I dont know this person, or what happened, but if you look how skinny she is, she may have died of starvation.

It would have been nice if someone had met her when she was young enough, and taken her to an orphanage, where she could have got a good education, then a good job, and had a happy life.

I know, it is not always that simple. But there are people who dont have opportunities that others have.

For those who dont like the word orphanage, lets say boarding school.

I noticed that of course, but I would disagree with your prognosis. I am by no means a health professional but I've lived in this place a long time and I would assume from many similar scenarios the following.

The woman wasn't starving, she became malnourished.
The woman had an underlying condition such as HIV.
The woman was suffering from Tuberculosis, Dysentery, Malaria, Hepatitis or any other serious disease.
The woman was likely either mentally impaired or addicted to drugs or both.
The woman was once a child with all sorts of promises ahead, but so much can go wrong.
RIP
Silence, exile, and cunning.

This woman had HIV and scabies, among other things. She was living on borrowed time for quite some time.
