Applied phlebotinum. In other words, a substance which doesn't really exist but makes the action of the plot possible. There is no real substance which can make you appear to be dead (including lack of pulse or colour) for exactly 42 hours.

Why is Friar Lawrence responsible for romeos death?

Friar lawrence is some what responsible for Romeo's death. Friar Lawrence gave the letter to Friar John explaining Juliet's plan to fake kill herself. But because of the plague (which was very common back then) Friar John was delayed and could not deliver the letter to Romeo in Mantua. Romeo found out from Balthasar that Juliet was dead (when really it was the poison and she was not dead). He then ran to the Capulets tomb to kill himself in order to be with her in heaven.
