I guess that's assumption on my part. I mean, Huan the Wolfhound basically killed or defeated all the baddies that resided in Tol-in-Gaurhoth. One would think that this included Thuringwethil, who was in that tower at the time. She would need to be physically slain so that Luthien could take her "bat-fell" with the wings and claws. I suppose if Thuringwethil could be spiritually dispatched, that would actually support my theory that she was a maia. Interesting.
