Conclusion
Yes.
2. If yes, how did that cause her death? If no, do you have a hypothesis for the cause of her death?
It was over the safe amount of concentration.
3. How did Beer's Law help you solve this case?
We used the materials to figure out concentration levels to see if they used a safe amount.
