Does a wife divorced with a revocable divorce during her waiting period, who then falls ill and dies after the waiting period ends, inherit from her husband?

Primary text

The wife does not inherit if the husband pronounces a revocable divorce while she is sexually intimate with him, and he subsequently falls ill during her waiting period (Iddah) and dies after the waiting period has concluded. This is because the divorce pronounced was considered a divorce of health (i.e., not during a mortal illness).
