This is actually an older news story, and it does appear as though she recovered from this before her death.

Yup, I was going to make the distinction between perceived legitimacy and actual legitimacy, but on reflection I think legitimacy is socially constructed, so perceived legitimacy is just legitimacy.

That's why things like the George Floyd uprising was so important. The legitimacy of the state's violence has taken a huge hit in recent times, and I don't see it getting better any time soon.
