Sorry, but why blame too much air travel? Never heard of that as a cause of death.

People have died from being on extended flights. Rare, but it has happened (I assume b/c of altitude changes or being cramped up and not moving for 15 hours). Perhaps she was struck in the head 2 weeks ago and it took that long to finally fester. We don’t know. My point is that we have too many people using these tragedies to prove their position. Confession: I used to do it myself, but as I get older, I find it unsettling.

Excessive air travel can cause clot formation in some people’s veins - enforced sitting, legs under knees, etc. In this case, they announced a diagnosis, but provided no information on the cause.
