A tanning bed affects the surface of the skin before invading and damaging deep tissue and organs. If she really stayed too long she would be horrible burned like a severe sunburn. So I would think that this story is an urban legend set up by moms who want their daughters to have beautiful skin in their old age.

Nope. They busted that myth on Mythbusters:
Episode 4: Penny Drop, Deadly Microwaves, Radio Tooth Fillings
Can pennies from heaven kill? Or, more specifically, can a penny dropped from a skyscraper kill a pedestrian on the sidewalk below? Jamie and Adam take the challenge, hopefully without deadly results. Speaking of fatal fallacies, is it possible to literally bake yourself on a tanning bed from the inside out? The guys also investigate the claim that Lucille Ball exposed a Japanese spy ring by listening to radio signals transmitted by her tooth fillings. Hmmm ...

Uh, no. Definitely not true. Her skin may have been burned, but tanning beds don't get hot enough to "cook" your insides. She could have died from other causes while she was tanning, though. Like maybe S.B.S., ("stupid bride" syndrome).

It wouldn't have cooked her insides but if she had certain medical conditions, by not following their instructions the tanning bed's rays could have contributed to her death.

I used to go to tanning booths, and they are very dangerous, yes you should only go once a week. Walk into one, they make you fill out a form with policy rules, and risks...

Unless this lady was spending HOURS AND HOURS, she did no fry by 4 times. Or at least it is EXTREMLY unlikely.
