She was in great shape, early forties, two kids. She had a rare GI cancer which was diagnosed at a nearby teaching hospital. Instead of getting treatment there, she rejected chemotherapy and found a doctor in FL who put her on a "grapes only" diet. The idea here was to rid her body of toxins which cause cancer.

She did it her way, and she died about 18 months after the diagnosis.
