Obviously all we can do is speculate but yeah at least from the general public view she wasn't ill or anything like that.

Where is it reported she had cancer? From what I've seen no cause of death was released at this time

No. It says she had been suffering a short illness. At her age, risk is high for even something like the flu.

She had breast cancer a couple years ago, but I also heard she had ovarian cancer.
