@ Ashraf Mirza, I think it would be a bit difficult for our doctors to help her with recovery when she is already dead. Any medical advancements in USA that might serve the purpose?

It is said to hear about the demise of another citizen. Culprits should be captured and immediately be sentenced rather than prolonging the case for many years as in our justice system due to variou known reasons. Simultaneously, media should also disclose the reason for this happpening as there may be a reason behind it as in the case of Kandeel giving a bad name to our religion. But still was a wrong deed murdering her.

Guys @Ashraf Mirza (USA) was right to pray for her recovery because when the news first published she wasn't dead but in critical condition but later on she succumbed. RIP poor soul.
