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.
