How did my hamster die?
I was sad. But now I feel like figuring out how she died will make me feel much better. I was sleeping. It happened around midnight. My brother saw her die as he went to the kitchen to get a snack or something. (He stays up late). He went up to my parent's room and told them. I guess she was kind of squealing and squeaking for a little bit. Looked like she was choking? And then he went back to sleep. I went down the next morning to see my dad had put her cage in the garage and that she was dead on her back. I then saw that HER BOTTLE WAS EMPTY. Is that how a hamster would die of dehydration?

If she was dehydrated, she would have been lethargic for a few days.
Hamsters do only live to 2-3 years old.
When an animal is dying, they squeak and look like they're struggling, which might have been what your brother saw.
Sounds more like she was have a cardiovascular event - a heart attack. If she was young, it might be worth checking what you're feeding. A lot of people feed sunflowers but sunflowers have a high fat and sugar content.
