A super tricky very dangerous riddle. Can you solve it?

Ok, well, I dunno about all that, but it took the best person I know in-person at riddles two days to figure this one. So: A woman is found dead in her bed in a room locked from the inside. There are no cuts, abrasians, bruises, or any exterior wounds on her body. No one else is in the room. When people break into the room, the only other thing in the room besides the dead woman and the bed is a pair of scissors. How did she die?

Update:

D. Syde, very good. Forget to mention that she did not die of old age, sorry, but the scissors of course had a purpose. But yes, she drowned in a water bed.

    She slept in a water bed. She used the scissors to puncture it, and she drowned.

    In other words, she commited suicide. Thanks for riding my coattails, bud.

    She died waiting for someone to come ad cut her hair!! Maybe out of hunger since there was nothing in the room besides the bed and scissors.....?!!Maybe u killed her??!!......

    U better post the answer to this sooon.

    The water bed theory sounds fine except that when the room is forced open, there should be no bed also there...since the water would have flowed out.

    Ms. XYZ slept on a water bed. Her assailant used the scissors to cut the bed open and drowned her.

    The room is in the trunk of a ship which had sunk in the sea - she died due to lack of air.

    P.S. Still don't know what the scissors are for, I guess it is just a pointless clue
