Claudius drops a pearl "fit for a king" into Hamlet's beaker He declares that past kings have worn the very jewel in their crowns,this is at the point in act 5 when Hamlet and Laertes fight. Unknown to the rest of the court, this is, infact, poison. I believe Hamlet suspects this, and when offered a drink after the first hit, Hamlet declines. Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, wipes Hamlet's brow, and toats to his good luck. The king bids Gertrude not to drink, but obviously can't say in public why. Gertrude drinks, and the king says "It is the poison'd cup, it is too late" Gertrude has drunk the poison meant for Hamlet, and in her dying minutes, she realises Hamlet was right all along, and that the king is in fact a villain. Everything goes pear-shaped from then on, you should read it!
Claudius has prepared a cup of poisoned wine for Hamlet, in case the poison on Laertes sword doesn't work, and Gertrude drinks it - not knowing it is poisoned.

Gertrude dies from drinking a cup of wine into which Claudius has introduced poison. She certainly kills herself in the sense that it is her action in drinking the wine which kills her.
