Anybody suggest what happen to Esther Granger?

The skull of a teen from the 1800s was found more than 45 years ago during a home renovation project in suburban Chicago – thanks to the advancement of DNA technology, we finally know her name.

Esther Granger was identified by the Kane County Coroner’s Office on Thursday as the woman whose skull was found in 1978, but she died more than 150 years earlier.

Granger was born in October 1848 in Indiana and was only 17 at the time of her death in 1866, when officials believe she died due to complications during childbirth, Kane County Coroner Robert Russell said in a news conference Thursday.?

Why was her head separated  from her body?  she died in the Complications during childbirth?

It does say in the article they believe it was due to grave robbers which was my first thought.
