Thank you for your post!

This plant contains Glycoalkaloids - this should NOT have been a toxic cause as this often products gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting or diarrhea, but should not have caused death.

Unfortunately I think this was a coincidence and the cause of death is not known right now without an autopsy.
