Natalia’s death on General Hospital has ignited heated fan debates, and many fingers point straight at Sidwell. Viewers don’t buy the simple overdose explanation. Instead, they suspect a deeper conspiracy that ties Sidwell to both the fire at Charlie’s and Natalia’s mysterious end.

In the July 1 episode, Chase and Anna break into Natalia’s hotel room at the Metro Court and find her unconscious. Doctors at the hospital try to save her, but Liz and Isaiah eventually declare her dead. Pills and booze surround her, and the scene initially screams overdose. But Anna catches something off. Natalia had been packing, not preparing to die. And just before Anna and Chase arrived, a man slipped away from the door.

Meanwhile, at Wyndemere, Sidwell watches from the parapet and tells someone on the phone, “I can see they completed the job.” Most assume he’s referring to the arson at Charlie’s Pub, where Kristina almost died, but some viewers believe Sidwell meant more than that.

Natalia had recently agreed to give Sonny some potentially damaging evidence against him. Instead of handing it to ADA Turner, she chose to trust Sonny, thinking he’d leave Port Charles with her. But when he told her he had no intention of going, Natalia broke down in tears. She returned to her hotel room, drank heavily, and popped pills. Some fans think that heartbreak pushed her into a deadly overdose. Others think someone wanted her silenced to make it look like a crime scene, incriminating Sonny.

Fan theories are all over the internet. One viewer wrote on Facebook, “I feel like Sidwell had something to do with Natalia’s death, but GH didn’t show us that part.” Another added, “I think Sidwell is setting up situations to force Sonny out of the business and sell his waterfront properties to him.”

However, not everyone blames Sidwell. “She felt so upset and abandoned by both her son and Sonny, she drank and took too many pills. She killed herself, even if unintentionally,” one fan argued. Some even floated darker possibilities. “We saw what happened. She mixed alcohol with prescription drugs… unless Sidwell had the drugs swapped with ones laced with fentanyl,” someone speculated.

Until the show reveals the truth, viewers will continue to guess. But right now, Sidwell’s name stays front and center in the storm around Natalia’s death.
