Thought it fitting that I was listening to Frank Ocean as I scrolled by your name.

Natural causes? The post below yours says she was hit by a truck.

About a year ago she was injured in a testing accident in which she hit a transport truck, suffering massive cranial injuries which resulted in her losing her right eye (thus the eye patch). Her passing and the accident are two completely separate incidents.

Death as result of an infection would be a natural cause. Death by brain aneurism would be a natural cause. Which would not be terribly surprising given her past injuries. I have no idea what it is in this specific case.

It could also be a eufemism for suicide. For now we just have no way of knowing.

Suicide would be a real sad way for someone with that amount of grit and balls to go out. :/

Damn, she will be missed. What a roller coaster of a life she led. RIP, you badass.

It's typically not a euphemism for suicide. Suicide isn't a natural cause.

This makes my heart hurt. She was an inspiration for toughness.

I'm impressed she could drive stick with a peg leg. Any news on the whereabouts of her parrot?

In all seriousness RIP

This sucks. She was very tough, and heavily involved in (and got other drivers involved in) charity work.
