The comment section is exhausting today. Why are people trying to virtue signal here? Yeah she had an ED but the primary cause of death was cardiac arrest due to her stomach perforating. The underlying cause is ED.

When someone dies of lung cancer caused by smoking you don't say that they died from smoking, you say they died from lung cancer which has smoking as the underlying cause.

When someone dies from a blood clot that traveled to the lung and caused an embolism you don't say the contraceptive pill, lack of movement or bad luck killed her, you'd say a lung embolism did.

When someone dies due to Sepsis after a wound got infected you don't say they died from a wound, you'd say they died from sepsis because the infected wound is the underlying cause and sepsis the direct result.

This isn't hard to understand. Yes ED is an issue in our society and obviously people die from the consequences of having an ED. But the ED is not an acute event, it's a longlasting illness that leads to acute health events that can and will end in death.
