60.1>29 - how does that indicate someone died? Discuss!

This morning I heard that an old friend of the family had been taken ill and was in hospital. I asked what the outlook for his recovery would be, at least short term. And cast 60.1>29. Restrictive regulations, not taking a step out of one’s courtyard, no error, in a context of danger. I took it to mean that as long as he stayed quiet and got some rest, and didn’t rush back home to his multiple occupations as he tended to do, he would make no error, ie would be ok, despite the danger. I did note that the omen was not good fortune though...
Half an hour later, I heard that he had died. For all I know, he may have already been clinically dead when I cast.

Usually, when I get 60.1 it makes sense, do not take action, do not travel or whatever. But how does not stepping out of the gate indicate death, I don’t know. All I can see is the context of danger, the need for regulation, and the absence of good fortune. Not passing out the pearly gates? But that would suggest staying in incarnation.

Would anyone get that a person is dead or about to die from that reading?
