So I've been thinking (scary I know)
Let's say someone slipped her a cocktail. It could have even been in more than one dose but close enough together to get an additive effect and subsequent toxicity.
The elavil was at a super high level.
What is the major side effect seen with elavil besides sleep.............dry mouth.
I'm wondering if Morgan ever complained of dry mouth.......was extra thirsty, had a funny taste etc.
To me.........if you are going to commit suicide why take a cocktail of drugs. Usually people just go with something major that will knock out respirations etc....
I'm still not leaning to suicide at all. There is just too much that is hinky about those particular drugs.

http://www.enotes.com/suicide-investigation-reference/suicide-investigationIt is not uncommon for a "cocktail" of drugs to be taken in suicide. The pathologist must take samples from blood, urine, and various body tissues and then has the difficult task of trying to work out what contribution each component of the cocktail made to the death. The presence of a suicide note at the scene of a poisoning (or other suicide) may be taken as an indication of suicide rather than an accident. However, the absence of a note does not mean the act was necessarily accidental. Some people simply do not leave a note, perhaps to protect the feelings of loved ones by trying to make the act look accidental. Moreover, forged notes may be used to help stage a homicide as a suicide. As ever, all the evidence must be carefully assessed to arrive at the truth.
