How Did She Die? edit

The article says that "a quiet end was put to her life at age 40". That seems to suggest that Ōku was quietly killed, which is a bit shocking, to say the least. The original writer doesn't seem, however, to be a native speaker of English, so perhaps all it means to say is, "She died peacefully at age forty." That's still pretty young, however, for a natural death. Somebody familiar with the case should clarify, and, if she was put to death, explain the circumstances.
