So, after thousands of hours and multiple play-thru, I encountered something I've never seen before. I found Camilla dead near the mill one day. I was still at level 7 and have a mod that delayed vampire attacks until higher level and there are still no dragons in the game. I once found Faendal dead in the same spot but read somewhere that this may happen occasionally. I have not found any reference to Camilla turning up dead.

Have anybody seen this before?

do you run any mods like immersive patrols or something? Wonder if you were in the cell and a random attack occured.

I once completed the Cursed Tribe quest and returned about 4-5 in game months later to find the only last living orc in the whole stronghold was the smith. Seems the giant had respawned when I passed through the cell area and killed all the orcs. Got a decent inheritence from the deceased orc chief though.

It would seem that something killed her while you were in the cell.

I'm not using any mods that spawns extra bandits or patrols. I've never seen anything come into Riverwood this early in the game that could have killed her. In the hundreds of hours I've logged, I've never encountered any hostile NPCs or creature in Riverwood at this stage in the game. Vampire attacks are delayed, there are no dragons, etc. Camilla doesn't even spend that much time outside.

The only real difference in this game is I'm spending more time in Riverwood cell because I made Hunter's Cabin my home. Oh well, I'm going to blame it on Sam the Man from Live Another Life mod. He was the one that discovered her body.
