Cause of Death[edit]

The manner of Frances Hugle death at the fairly young age of 40 is not described. I've no idea what it was, just the omission is noticeable. ― Ralph Corderoy (talk) 08:54, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A blog post claims it was stomach cancer. While the post includes a newspaper obit, the author didn't source the cause of death. I'll attempt to follow up. - Cmholm (talk) 03:07, 1 February 2021 (UTC)accomplish the[reply]

It was said that she had stomach cancer though the treatment she received was unusual for the time. It is also interesting that two other wives of her husband's close associates developed stomach cancer all within a year or two of her death. That is highly improbable, maybe one chance in 9 Billion. There were other anomalies during her demise, and following her death. Technically, she had just described how to accomplish something that became the raison d'etre for Intel's founding and my belief is that she expected to be one of those founders and in fact was in its conceptual/brainstorming phase.

She expected to come into a lot of money around the time she died. So she knew the value of her latest breakthrough and knew that others also knew. There is a chance that she was hurried to her grave with many people assisting in that endeavor as well as the general fleecing of her legacy.

I intend to present much more about this in a book I am just now beginning.
