Did Evelyn really die?

I think we’re not done with adult Evelyn as an ongoing character. Because now that teen Evie is an important part of the story I’m wondering about adult Evelyn. The story about her death lacked any specifics in a show where every single detail seems to mean something. She was the matriarch of PH yet there was no mention of what caused her death- I know I was curious. What were all the pill bottles just lying around?? Who keeps their pills by their telescope 😁?? Maybe the pills were placed there as a misdirect. I thought it odd that she donated the newspaper but there was only a very brief mention of it in the show. I just don’t believe that Evelyn spent all that time doing nothing.

The story is that she locked herself away in her mansion, unseen for her all those years. That’s a convenient cover to do anything you want with no one knowing. I know she’s not a Landry and from what we know can’t TT, but she and the pond are becoming more intertwined. TWH gives their viewers a lot of latitude when it comes to speculations, which is why I love this sub. Anyone else share this point of view.
