The night she died, I had spoken to her in the morning, as usual.

Hi

I read this sentence in an autobiography of an Indian author. Is it completely natural?

(The writer is talking about her mother's sudden death at night.)

The night she died, I had spoken to her in the morning, as usual.

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks, Clive.

-- but isn't it dangling? Or is it one of those accepted danglings? Something like:

Based on my report, you have cancer.

I can't see anything 'dangling' in the above. There are two clauses here where the subordinate one i.e., [Before] The night she died is fronted and followed by the main clause I had spoken to her in the morning.
