Untrue.  Many senior citizens die as a result of complications associated with a fall.  My grandfather for one. I had the same injury as RBG (3 broken ribs), including a partially collapsed lung.  While not life threatening to me (most likely) those same injuries create all sorts of pulmonary complications which can be life-threatening in someone like RBG. For one, look at her osteoporosis.  She looks like a question mark.  Brittle bones.  Slow healing. This could be an "Accident" which allows her to "die" and disappear as part of a deal to avoid prosecution and/or legacy destruction.  Like No Name.  Though he got what he deserved.
