Is It Safe To Take Zofran For Food Poisoning?

An employee of mine just passed away at the age of 38 and her husband says that the autoposy report is still pending. She was herself a pharmacist, and since May we noticed a significant weight loss. From 104lb to 65 lbs. She told me she was constantly vomiting despite her constantly eating during work time. She had been to the emergency room and they sent her home with compazine and zofran and told her possible food poisoning. I am suspecting either Bulimia or Achalasia. I also noticed a huge bottle of mouth wash in the bathroom and several toothbrushes. What's your opinion
