What makes you think she perished before her time? Seems to me that she perished right on schedule: shortly after hitting the ground.
One of the problems in today's society, is that most people think they are guaranteed a long and happy life. So, of course, when they get smacked with a dose of reality, they just don't know how to deal. Some seek drugs, some seek therapy, some seek extra-marital affairs, some seek violence, some seek a defendant with deep pockets to sue. But rarely do they wake up from their self-centered stupor and say, "wow, there really are no guarantees in life!"
As my wife is fond of saying, "every person knows their birthday, but no one knows their deathday."
