Continuous ice spells could have kept her body from decomposing, but her anchor would have slowly faded to nothing over the course of an hour or less after her death, leaving behind flesh that appears to have been crystallized, including in the tendrils that grew outward, but no glowing or magic.
Spirit healers heal by channeling beneficial energy from spirits that causes bodies to heal at a preternatural rate; they don't, as a rule, have any special diagnostic abilities. But someone who's observing her with a learned eye of any kind would be able to get a better handle on the anchor's progression, and specifically on the fact that the anchor had spread far enough up her arm to begin affecting her organs. There will also be bruising and some cauterized flesh in places along where the anchor had spread.
The key takeaway is that keeping her anchor away from other anchors for so long had deadly consequences.
