I think if Layla's death was really due to illness, it wouldn't happen in year 777. That feels rather suspicious - the same date when dragons disappeared, which suggests that she was somehow involved. Also, there's her unexplained connection to One Magic and she also seemed to have quite a good relations with CS King (hence him calling Lucy "old friend"; I don't know how it can be explained differently). Taking all this into account, I'm pretty convinced we will get more info on Layla.
