Just fyi, we have had patients who've had so much to drink, for so long, that they've had alcohol brought to them in the hospital...when the risk of convulsions outweigh the risks of alcohol, you do what you have to do to keep the patient alive.
It is not inconceivable - not nearly - that even if she'd had a small/reduced amount of alcohol in her system that she convulsed, or had systemic respiratory depression, or some other effect of either wd (which happens once you stop the peak of ingestion, and can last upwards of 5 days), or active drinking.
I must say I am glad that there were no illegal drugs in her system. My guess is still with WD and/or prescription and alcho combined.
best-
