    The whole idea of the asp isn't really proven. She was incredibly skilled at making poisons so no one's really sure if she poisoned herself or if the asp got a hold of her, still, either way, it's suicide.

    The Asp was there, she didn't move, so I suspect suicide:)

    Suicide. She was holding the snake. If someone wanted to murder her she woud have been stabbed or poisined some other way.

    There are different versions of her death some poets say it was two snakes that she made bite her....some say it was one asp and some say it was a cobra.

    Here are some of the versions.
