if she is on life support that means blood is still being pumped (artifically) through her body to her tissues. Therefore the tissues should not decompose

nowhere in either article does it say that they she was starting to decompose. When a person is on life support, oxygen, food, water and other nutrients are pumped in by machine that keep the body from decomposing. The person does start to have a smell but is usually from lack of bathing a sponge bath can only do so much. Walk into a morgue at hospital and you will know what the smell of death is.
