It sounds like you were there when it happened or at least saw what she was doing before it happened. I'm her close family member and would like to ask you what exactly happened that night because I still don't have a clear answer. If you could reach out so I could just find out once and for all please, I would be so appreciative. I'll be keeping an eye out on this post and we'll figure out how to speak privately if that's okay. Thank you
