Why did my cat die suddenly after a bath? Was it lung fluid?

Question

My cat threw up some water, went comatose and then passed away. Is it possible she may have gotten too much liquid in her lungs from a bath? She also pooped watery blood and had a little hair all stuck on her tongue. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

I am very sorry to hear that. This could be either due to an acute cardiac problem or respiratory one, but it is likely that the lungs filled up with fluid. A post-mortem examination would help to shed some light on the underlying cause of it.
