“”bobbing” in the water with a flotation device “

She had a defective flotation device designed for an infant, not for a woman weighing over 200 pounds, so she wouldn’t have been “bobbing”, she would have had to be treading water, and she apparently was not a good swimmer. Perhaps you have never had to tread water for any length of time, but it is strenuous exertion.

“surrounded by people who later reported that you were responsive and appeared “fine” to them”

She wasn’t surrounded by people. She had drifted away from the plane and was accompanied by only one coworker, who said she was clearly in distress before she stopped breathing, not that she was “fine”. You don’t have your facts straight.

“Is is statistically probable her death was natural given all the circumstances in play?”

Yes, an old overweight woman who is not a good swimmer having heart failure after a plane crash and having to tread water for an extended period of time is very statistically probable. It’s certainly infinitely more probable than the magical frogman assassin theory.

Yes, "bobbing" as reported by Clyde Kawasaki, the pilot, and "doing fine" as reported by Phillip Hollstein, a passenger. Are they lying, or are you? Her brother, Lewis P. Fuddy Jr, said his sister was healthy with no heart problems. Is he lying or are you? The nuasances you share are from the autopsy reports which do not agree as to whether she died from hyperventilation (ridiculous), or drowning, or internal injuries. You should be aware too, that overweight people are naturally more buoyant, not less buoyant, than those with more normal weight, especially in salt water. I searched and could find no record of any surviving passenger mentioning strenuous exertion in the water. Please link me to such an article if you did not make that up. Not buying what you are selling. Not at all.
