Not sure what you're saying here. It's not possible for her to have died? You suspect foul play?

V=IR
If I is important, then with a given V, we need to know R.
If R ~ 1000 ohms and V=5 then I ~ 0.005 A = 5mA

"There was a burn mark on her hand, the hand that would have grabbed the phone."
5V can't possibly cause any burn marks on human skin. So it has to be the AC side.
