Was she about to perform some kind of dangerous act whilst blindfolded (eg jumping of something very high up) and the cue for her to do it was the cessation of the music, at which point, say, she would jump off the high thing and get caught by someone else, so when the power went out the music stopped so she thought it was her cue and jumped, and the person below couldn't see her to catch her and so splat?
Was her death inevitable even before the music stopped?
No
Was her death by this means possible before the music stopped?
Yes

Yes.
I could drag this on a little longer, make you figure out exactly what her act was, but you've got the important details, so I won't.
She was a blindfolded tightrope walker. The end of the music was her cue to step off the rope onto the platform and take a bow. A power outage caused the music to stop when she was 3/4s of the way across. Since the music had ended, she stepped off... but there was no platform to step onto.

Not so amazing now, are you, Mable?!?!
La Capitain saved her at the last moment. No one saw her get saved and so time remained intact.
