not necessarily, the smoke could have clogged up her lungs and she was having trouble breathing so her lungs/heart might have finally given up under the strain of trying to work harder with the lack of oxygen. people can die days after a fire from smoke inhalation, you dont have to die almost instantlyQuote:

Heat damage can destroy the cells that line the mouth and throat. Often this leads to the build up of fluids, which can obstruct the airways and make breathing difficult.
This problem usually becomes apparent within six to 24 hours of inhaling smoke.
