OK, assuming that she was gone before all of this mess- wouldn't it have been more humane to do something to relieve all of the suffering, instead of starving and dehydrating the body.
Doing that killed the body, injecting a lot of morphine would have achieved the same result more peacefully. Do you know that when starved and dehydrated, the face will turn yellow from the build up of toxins? Most people dont want to hear those type of details.
