Hmm, what was the nature of the raid? If they calmly walked in, presented a warrant, and did their search then I suppose it is incidental and can't be helped.
If the cops busted in the door screaming "THIS IS A RAID MOTHERFUCKERS EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND" and trashed the office, I'd call that violence.
The death is incidental, I'm not sure why they highlighted it in the headline. Almost certainly due to the raid and pressure put on her by the police but you couldn't prove that in a courtroom.
It is the story behind it that is so interesting and bizarre, also highlights some clear abuse.
More of a causal link between this raid and her death than Chauvin's knee and George Floyd's death but I know we live in clown world and that would never be acknowledged in court.
NOTE TO THOSE READING THE HEADLINE: 98-year-old died of stress from said raid. No violence toward person.

It would depend on the legality of the raid. An unjustified raid is violence.
that definitely changes the context, still shitty.
