While in my theory she dies from an ansectral illness, the White Fang killing her would bring it to a bad place and give some motivation (but you'd think she would mention that though). Or would she? I get the feeling not everything is shared between the RWBY members as of yet....Only Blake has let go of one of her secrets so far, and theres no reason for Weiss to do the same just because Blake did; she's still in her shell somewhat.

I also feel that Yang is probably keeping the biggest secrets anyway. If we see that the reason why Yang's character was seemingly less developed compared to the others in volume one, it might be because "developing" her would lead to huge plot reveals. There was one line from Weiss to specifically Yang that I felt was kind of strange: "The innocent never run, Yang". Yang definatly needs some time. And she did have a reaction to the statement that the innocent never run. Perhaps she did or was involved in something she didn't like and never did and left it with her familly never knowing the wiser. Then years later it comes back and she has to explain it to her team and, more importantly, her little sister (Ruby might really look up to Yang and the fact that something happened which she kept would really shake that foundation).
