I’m getting the impression she didn’t win the contest...”

Article 4 - Subsection 3.5 - Paragraph 22 of the guidebook for the International Association of Eating Contests clearly indicates that if you die or become incapacitated during the contest, you are credited with how much Lamington cake you did consume before expiring or involuntarily dropping out of the competition.

Article 4 - Subsection 3.5 - Paragraphs 23-27 explain the judges guidelines for stopping a competition in the event of contestant death or incapacitation.

Article 4 - Subsection 3.5 - Paragraph 27(b) indicates if the competition is not halted, the deceased or incapacitated contestant would be the winner only if their total food consumption is greater than that of any living or non-incapacitated contestant.

So in short, it’s possible she did win.

So yeah, there’s always a chance she did win.
