Her death (whatever its cause) was the technical reason that she was not awarded it, but also they called her all sorts of horrid names including bitch. And to some extent it wasn't even them but her boss that handed them her data... but again the name-calling behaviors and such reveal how they were totally fine with that arrangement. i.e., it wasn't "just" the Nobel prize that they screwed her out of, it was all credit for it everywhere.
