It seems I need to elaborate...

Okay. The character with random disease is a pretty teenage girl. Slim, probably a ballerina or dancer of some kind.

Her family knows and she probably sees a doctor but if she's on any medication she's able to hide it pretty well.

Main person who doesn't know she's sick is boy who falls in love with her.

Yeah I know, the story has been done a squillion times before, but gimme a break I started writing it when I was 14 or so.

Oh yeah, and the death just happens overnight.

What about a terminal cancer that the doctors determine they can't treat or operate on? In that case, she wouldn't necessarily be on meds and might not even look ill. She could just go to sleep and never wake up. Think Mandy Moore in "A Walk to Remember".

Or, you could always let her have a brain aneurism in her sleep or something like that.

What about some sort of congenital heart defect?

Never saw A Walk To Remember. :p

Yeah I was thinking a heart defect may work.
