Someone vomitted to death. I'd probably rather the cancer and wolf combo.

Very good chance to be actually cancer. A lot of cancers lead to extreme vomiting if untreated in their terminal phase.

Or cholera,etc....yeah, these,too.

I think a lot of these could be grouped into a handful of now well known terminal illnesses.

But not the wolves.

Could well have been the opening phases of using canines to early detect illnesses. Just a few understandable methodology kinks in the early days.
