Doctors gave Murrieta intravenous antibiotics and were transferring her to the intensive care unit when her heart stopped

This was not the flu. You only get intravenous antibiotics if you have a bacterial infection. She probably got a blood infection that spread to her heart and lungs.

She got bacterial pneumonia as a direct result of having the flu. The flu causes people to be highly susceptible to bacterial infections, which they would not get otherwise. So yes, she died from the flu.
