Hi ...
Sorry to hear that..
Most Possibility is that she must have choked the hamburger...
and without knowing what medication she was having.. i cant comment about the medication part ..
but more probable reason for sudden death is choking only..
During choking You can save the person or help him by Heimlich Maneuver... You can check how to do it in youtube.. so next time if someone in need you can help it..
Thank you
