Does anyone know if this human is still alive?

She supposedly died in 2016, but that's unconfirmed. Also, her family apparently hates this meme.

I thought it needed one addition

![1st panel: obese woman with superimposed text that says "wat". 2nd panel: the image is zoomed in. 3rd panel: the image is zoomed in even further. 4th panel: we now only see the mouth ands where the nostrils would be. Superimposed over the nostrils is a ninja turtle mask, and below the mouth text that again says "wat" but in the ninja turtles typeface.] ( https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/15/bf/crQ1Rtww_t.jpg)
