My wife told me about this, this morn.. I have not read a single article on this, or seen it on the news as of yet. I would be willing to guess that she might be a smuggler and the packages broke open and she basically OD. Just a guess though, not factual.

Sounds like a blood clot that started in the legs migrated to the brain. This usually happens in very rare cases when people sit for long periods time without getting up and stretching.
I tend to agree. News articles say that there was a doc on the flight and that lifesaving efforts were performed - perhaps the doc said "let's divert to try to save her" and thus they landed at IAH. From those articles, she went into distress about eight hours into the flight, so that would not have been too far from Houston.
Guy seated next to me on a flight to London expired quite a few years ago. We were about two or three hours from LHR and a doc and nurse used the defib and performed other lifesaving efforts for over an hour before giving up. He was covered up, placed in a five-across row, belted in and everyone around him moved to other seats. These days, with much higher load factors, there might not be so many empty seats.

Sad to say, but it's a Fact-of(airline)-life, especially when your 'out in the middle of nowhere'.
I mean, if your going ORD to BOS, there are many state-of-the-art-hospitals/airports to divert/land into..
Cleveland Clinic would do just fine for me.
