Best Answer

Goneril, her sister, poisons her. Some productions feature Albany, Regan and Goneril celebrating after winning the battle, each having a glass of wine that Goneril pours. As she does so, she poisons Regan's glass, who shortly begins to feel ill.

This has been done in some productions I've seen very effectively !

Goneril poisons her sister mainly due to her jealousy, as now Regan is a widow she is free to marry Edmund, who Goneril is also obsessed with.
