Being a diet-and-health "guru", I can tell you that in 99+% of cases where someone is deemed "healthy" or as having a "perfect" diet (same thing in most instances, really), it is not the case, most-often not by a long shot.
So, this "healthy" individual most likely had multiple issues that hadn't surfaced yet.
A simple way to explain what I mean:
The body's priorities are to maintain an alkaline blood ph (around 7.2), keep it oxygenated, hydrated and as toxin-free as possible. It'll compensate for and take measures against all manner of "sins" without the person's having any knowledge or clue as to what's going on "under the hood".
As we see in general life, you can only compensate for something until the reserves run out and this is what happens in the body. The capacity to counter poisons and acidity, for example is not never-ending. Cells become saturated with toxins, leading to disease (dis-ease). Alkaline-buffering minerals run out if not replenished whilst being called upon for acid binding, which results in one's peeing them out daily.
Things tend to happen in slow-motion, but when the shit hits the fan, "everybody" panics at the "sudden" appearance of symptoms (we call them diseases). Diseases don't just happen, generally-speaking, but rather, they're a manifestation of underlying activity's coming to a head.
So, back to the 18-year-old. Whatever was going on internally, it'd likely have compromised the immune system for starters. Furthermore, I'd suggest that given another 6 months, a year or whatever, the issues would've manifested visibly and at that point the teenager would not have been deemed "healthy". IOW, there's a period of vulnerability between the time the body starts to suffer and when it becomes apparent on a macro, everyday level.

^ I don't doubt any of that. But the bottom is that a SEEMINGLY healthy 18yo died from it. If she didn't know of all the problems under the hood then it could be almost any typical person not knowing.
Happy New Year brother. You got the fuck outta 2020 before most of us will.

Those fireworks on that bridge looked pretty awesome.
I might need your help. I've been trying to get this Audient iD14 to work and I just can't do it. Audient tried to help via chat but after hours of piddling around I get frustrated and think "I could have been playing guitar". Everything looks right but I get nothing in the headphones.

It's kind of the no-true-scotsman fallacy: if a someone cares about their diet and doesn't get covid, it's because their diet allowed their body to be super capable of fighting it off. If they do get covid and die, must be that their diet wasn't actually correct.

It looks like your genetic makeup is a major factor in how the virus affects your body. They have determined that certain blood types have a harder time beating covid,and if they do beat it have a longer rehab time and more after-effects.
