A striking resemblance to the still living (I think?) Helen Thomas!

Someone could have clogged arteries 2,100 years ago? I thought only fast food caused that? *SMIRK* ;)

Clinton would probably say: “I’d hit that. She’s pretty hot.”

Chinese stir fry (fast food) is the probable culprit. High fat content, and if extant then, likely could cause atherosclerosis.

Lady Dai was a Chinese nobleman's wife in her mid-50s when she died of a heart attack. She was overweight, had diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease, gallstones and her arteries were almost totally clogged.

Thought she was the victim of a drunk driver in a Paris underpass. /sarc

a note on the youtube page

Her mummified body was so well-preserved that researchers were able to perform an autopsy on her body which showed that she probably died of a heart attack Specifically her diet was too rich in sugars and meat & she suffered from arterial-coronary problems

Buried with her were skeletons of various food animals jujubes lotus soup grains & a complete meal including soup rice and meat skewers on a lacquer set

Researchers found honeydew melon seeds in her stomach inferring consumption before death!!

I'm pretty darn sure Laz would hit it.
