post inspo because I was reading this article about this lady with dwarfism

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luc%C3%ADa_Z%C3%A1rate

and at no point in the article does it mention that she died when her circus train became stranded in the sierra nevada mountains and she died of hypothermia

After her circus train became stranded in the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains, Zarate died of hypothermia in 1890.

Like hello? Ok sure but I thought she would die of normal dwarf complications not some P.T. Barnum Donner Party ass situation in the mountains

and it says it so nonchalantly as if dwarves dying of hypothermia on a traveling circus train was a normal occurrence what is going on

Wikipedia “death” sections on people's pages are kinda wild because you read through their whole biography about something completely unrelated and then find out that they died in a freak skiing accident when they collided with a loose shark riding the ski lift and there will just be like… no mention at all of this anywhere else in the article? like not even the synopsis mentions these freaky accidents
