What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
"It happened in those days that she fell ill and died. They washed her and laid her in an upper room." That is, they did everything that was proper to do for the deceased.
Oecumenius
And having washed her, they did all the things that are done for the dead. [CHRYSOSTOM]
Western Saints
Bede
And it happened that in those days she became sick and died. For when the saints, through the frailty of mortal nature, commit some wrong, they fall, as it were, into sudden infirmity in the days of their good works. But when they immediately take to tears, they ascend with hope of recovering their virtue, invoking the help of the saints, recalling their good deeds which they had interrupted, they indeed do what follows.
