that is most likely either the article mis-representing what he actually said or as they more normally do just making it up
we dont believe that god takes any one or that we are predestined to die at any particular time
what he may have meant is that she died doing what she believed in
non of us follow this belief with the intention of dieing but just as some one who is willing to go to war for this country or as it is now to protect as they see it a way of life for the western world do so knowing its a possibility they may die we follow our belief
i know many churches do often give out the message that some one especially when its a child was taken by god but it is something we would say is contradictory to bible teaching
(Ecclesiastes 9:11-12) “. . .I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all. 12 For man also does not know his time. Just like fishes that are being taken in an evil net, and like birds that are being taken in a trap, so the sons of men themselves are being ensnared at a calamitous time, when it falls upon them suddenly.”
there are other scriptures but that is the most well know and still used in part by many "time and unforseen"
sorry if i am going on but i am often annoyed by what you were with what you heard when said by the clergy of other religions so can understand why hearing that was what he was supposed to have said and had to say it wouyld not be something would say or even think about a death
