She was half way out, but her fellow passengers managed to hold on to her for several minutes and then eventually pulled her back in. It’s not clear whether her fatal injuries were inflicted by the fragments from the disintegrating engine breaking through the window and side of the plane and hitting her, or her being thrust half way out the broken window and dangle in the airstream for a few minutes.
Even assuming exposure to a pure vaccum, such would not have been enough to kill her. She probably died of internal injuries due to impact with the fuselage.
Phillidelphia department of public health say the woman died of blunt force trauma to the head, neck and torso.
Unless she was oriented head first as she went through the window, the contortion required to force her upper body, head and neck forced through the window aperture probably killed her instantly.
Even if she was oriented head first, the pressure of the slip stream bending her backward and slamming her against the side of fuselage while she was half in and half out probably also cause massive fatal internal injuries.
