I don’t know if she consulted a lawyer. I’ve heard her family was planning to bail her out the day after she died.
I don't think bail is required after death.
I received a ticket for running a red light several years ago. The officer didn't ask me to step out of the car but if he had, I would have gotten out.
I ran the red light because a drooling meth head was panhandling right where I had to stop. After he gave me the ticket, I ask him if he saw the panhandler. He said yes, and that he would go pick him up.
