      Died = to pass from physical life: expire

      Monday = day of the week between sunday and tuesday

      After = following in time or place

      Brief = a short period of time

      Illness = sickness, an unhealthy condition of body or mind

      I’m with you - I don’t know if I’ve seen those words together like that in that order.

      Does that mean something like covid/extreme flu? “brief” tends to mean minor - so what “brief illness” is fatal?
