What Causes Sudden Death Of A 68 Year Old With Little Bleeding?

I found my 68 year old mother dead in her bed, on her side with her hands under her head. like she always slept When we turned her over there was a small amount of blood on her pillow, the size of a fifty cent piece. She didnt have any health problems, except hypothyroidism. What could possibly cause this sudden death and the blood?
