It doesn't matter how she died. Put anyone with normal health under overwork and excessive stress and they'll pass away soon enough. Whether it be a burst ulcer, excessive fatigue, lack of sleep, anorexia, whatever.
From what I know, EY is using the same excuse as you are, trying to hide away under the "she had an underlying condition" excuse.
Stress has a direct effect on gut metabolism. There's a reason they call it second brain and whatnot.

That reason is just a recent meme, best I can tell.
Too many variables affect this, including lifestyle, working hours, working conditions, etc. It's easy to control for them at large, but not combat one of them specifically.
For me, it's ulcers, caused by lack of a strict eating schedule and growing acidity levels due to not eating properly. Although in incidentally, during my PE days, what could've killed me was not that, but massive depression from a lack of socialization and not having someone to talk to.
For some folks I knew, it was a lifestyle of smoking and/or poor dietary habits, which led to a heart attack and an early death. For another, it was a heart attack too, caused by drinking too much energy drinks to stay awake. For still another, it was due to taking controlled medication on a slightly higher dose that landed them in the ER.
And then there's the story of that guy behind the "Impossible is Nothing" meme who suffered from massive depression after his video resume was leaked and made viral across Wall Street banks. Ended up dying from a medication overdose, although it's also alleged that it was an intentional suicide.
It's easy to figure out the warning signs early on - they stand out extremely obvious to anyone with a couple of braincells. The point is that most places, especially many Indian companies (although all of my examples were in London and NY), glorify this culture of excessive slaving for some mediocre return.
The concept of thoughts and consciousness being confined to a specific organ is a recent meme.
Or, if IRB doesn't approve of this study, just observe that medical practice around the world provides overwhelming empirical evidence for it every day, day in, day out. Now that we can swap almost every body part between people, it's kind of obvious which one is the one that's doing the thinking.
And you rephrased the premise. I did not write it the way you did.

As much as your scientism and medical specialists may try to suppress evidence to the contrary, bodies are organic systems that amount to more than the sum of parts. And we cannot hack away at a body without disrupting its integrity--have you heard of "phantom limb syndrome"?

Was Mary Shelley the consciousness expert?

First reactions were fully in line with what you're presenting. But hard facts are that a young person doesn't just die from overwork. They may develop PTSD, or anxiety disorder, or may lose or gain weight, or a whole bunch of other things. But a death is not normal, it has to be scientifically investigated.
