She lived alone. Let me say a few things about blood and bleeding. Some years ago I used to help an undertaker friend of mine embalm bodies and I learned quite a bit about the human body. Dead people DON'T bleed. Once the heart stops there is no arterial pressure to push the blood out. A dead body will leak blood if the wound is pointing towards the ground. If a body is lying on a table the blood will settle in the buttocks and back because of gravity. When a person is embalmed they are "filled to the brim" with colored embalming fluid which gives the body that pinkish look. If the first or second stab wound sliced through her aorta she would die VERY quickly and much of the blood would be pumped into her abdomen. If her throat was cut after her heart stopped there would be very little bleeding. More in a minute.
