The Intention of Purification Washing for a Menstruating Woman Who Died

Question
A young woman died while she was menstruating, and her mother forgot to inform the washer about that. Is her washing valid without the intention of purification?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: There is no difference between the washing of a menstruating woman and others if she dies, and there is no need for a specific intention for that, and God knows best.
