If we believe Gertrude, she climbed out onto a willow tree (never a good idea) and a branch broke and sent her tumbling into the water below. She didn't seem to realize this was dangerous, but her impractical clothing caused her to drown. Many people, inside the play and out, suspect that she actually drowned herself intentionally.
