Oh no! Since we do not know why the other animal died, it is concerning that Sasha could have secondarily ingested rat poison, spoiled meat with an overgrowth of bacteria, or could develop an intestinal obstruction from the bones of the other animal. Sasha should be evaluated by an emergency vet immediately so that vomiting can be induced as soon as possible. From there, the vet will be able to determine if further monitoring or treatments are indicated. I hope that all goes well!
