>They also assume that melons were the last item she consumed before she passed away since her corpse was so perfectly preserved.

I almost dismissed this article when I thought they were talking about melon's magic powers of preserving mummies. They can't be saying that, right? The body was so well preserved that the remains in her stomach look like melons. Right...?

Yeah weird wording on their part but they mean that she was so well preserved they can tell what she last ate by the contents of her stomach
