I don't fully understand. Death by vitamin D, not going to happen. OK, it's the potassium chloride - "Lethal intravenous injection of potassium chloride (KCl) is one of the common methods used either for suicide or homicide by the healthcare professionals." But it's also a supplement? - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Potassium+chloride https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Potassium+chloride She was stupid by putting it in the water bottles, or it was to hide when she did it in IV fluid? It's hard to understand the game plan. Somewhat of interest Google has the helpline pop up when you search it - https://www.google.com/search?q=potassium+chloride+death https://www.google.com/search?q=potassium+chloride+death

  I think the most charitable explanation is that parent poster has confused Vitamin D (fat-soluble, can accumulate) with Vitamin C (water-soluble, excess easily flushed)... although that is still a rather serious error in this context.

  his blood serum levels of vitamin D were four times the level that is considered "the absolute upper bound of safety" - he had 600ng/ml, the number i speak of is 150ng/ml. Science (from 2011 on) is pointing at ~100ng/ml to be "effective buffer / margin for hypercalcemia" - he was six times that much. and as i mentioned in a different unrelated thread, if any doctor suspected Vitamin D overdose, they would have prescribed vitamin K, which offsets the calcium "deposits".

  The side-effect of high vitamin D and hypercalcium might cause heart attack, that is sudden death.

    Sure, as health supplements go, a massive long term overdose of vitamin D is a poor choice. But as deadly poisons go, it's an absolutely terrible choice!

Well she likely doesn't know that. However, you can be severely harmed by it. So I'd suspect that's a major concern.

    What was her education? I wouldn’t assume a physics grad would know much about poisons.
