She died out of joy after seeing her husband alive from the railroad accident. She was brokenhearted as soon as she found out the "death" of her husband. However, she began to feel an unexpected sense of exhilaration. "Free! Body and soul free!" is what she believes is a benefit of his death. This probably stressed her out causing her heart problem to worsen. After seeing her husband, her heart probably exerted too much effort because of her happiness, causing her death.
In my opinion, the shifting of "Mrs. Mallard" to "Louise" emphasizes that she is now a widow coz her husband died.
