- bambax 4y agoYes. The article says she died from exhaustion from helping soldiers in WWI, but Wikipedia says the died of tuberculosis, which sounds more realistic?
- phlakaton 4y agoShe was never in good health, as she was immunocompromised from an early age. Crohn's Disease or intestinal tuberculosis was what she died from, I understand, but she was wracked with all sorts of stuff. If you want to get into the story of Lili in WWI, you might find this 2012 music & gender studies thesis on her interesting: https://depot.library.wisc.edu/repository/fedora/1711.dl:W6FF4QHCGRLNW8V/datastreams/REF/content https://depot.library.wisc.edu/repository/fedora/1711.dl:W6F... .
