She had flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to her death, like achy legs and a sore throat, but according to Taylor's father Tim, she tested negative.

"We did the usual flu/cold thing and got her prescription, loaded up on popsicles and soup and brought her back to rest," Tim said.
After Taylor died, her parents began sorting through her things. And that's when they found a letter she had written to her future self.
