[Star Wars] Palpatine killing Padme? (Spoilers for Episode 9)

I know this is a discussion that has already been done but I just wondered whether a new piece of potential evidence has been given to us after watching Episode 9. Towards the final scene, we see Palpatine transform back into his complete body after using both the life-forms of Kylo Ren and Rey, so surely this is proof that he is capable of using said force power to steal the life force away from others?

So, instead of Padme dying of a broken heart, would it be plausible that Palpatine actually took the life force from Padme, (and being a non-force sensitive, she had less life force as compared to Kylo and Rey who still survived from Palpatine stealing their life force to heal up Vader) which led to her unfortunate death.

Thoughts?

While it's a long-standing theory that Palpatine drained Padme to support Anakin during the surgery, there is no evidence in either continuity or from George's own statements to actually support that he did it or was capable of doing that at that time. In fact, the only examples of him stealing life force from others is in Episode 9, and there's no indication in that film that he can do it when the target is not in his immediate vicinity, let alone that he might be able to siphon life energy and transfer it to another.
