What's weird is that I can't find even one article about her death in the more mainstream French newspapers such as Le Monde or Le Figaro or Libération. There's something in Ouest France. Did anyone find more?

They're currently not treating her death as suspicious. I know it doesn't mean that it isn't but I think it's worth mentioning.
