I've been told by a very smart doctor that bleeding stomach ulcers in the
infirm, weak, and/or sickly can kill them rather quickly. Their blood
doesn't clot as it should and they can actually bleed to death and not know
it. It's what killed actor George C Scott according to a news report and
has been attributed to the sudden deaths of a variety of infirm, anemic,
elderly, or otherwise compromised folks who for whatever reason would not
be able to endure much blood loss. It was also attributed to the passing
of one of my grandparents who had been prescribed "blood thinners" which
slowed clotting.
