It is not made clear in what way Lady Macbeth died. She could have taken poison, thrown herself off the battlements, slit her wrists or anything.

Depends what you mean by "problem play". Some academics came up with that label to account for plays like Troilus and Cressida, Measure for Measure and All's Well that Ends Well, which are labeled "comedies" but do not measure up to their definition of what a comedy is. The same applies to certain tragedies which the academics cannot shoehorn into their tragedy definition: How dare Romeo and Juliet be middle-class? How dare Othello have fewer lines than Iago? Some academics might have problems with Macbeth since his character changes radically over the course of the play, thus making it harder to fix his unchanging character with some unchanging "tragic flaw" and making it hard toward the end of the play to feel any sympathy at all for the insane and vicious man that Macbeth has become. But let's face it; the "problems" that people have with "problem plays" has nothing to do with their effectiveness as plays, only with artificial definitions in the ivory tower world of academia.

Macbeth, a character in a Shakespeare play, is prophesied to become king. The play explores themes of ambition, power, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. The line you mention sets the stage for the unfolding of these themes in the story.
