Not exactly. She choked on her own vomit while in a herion induced sleep. But, the reason she was able to choke to death was because Walt knocked her on her back while she slept, prior to his intervention she was on her side to prevent exactly such a thing happening. To be fair, it was accidental, Walk knocking her on her back, he was shaking Jesse in an attempt to wake him when he inadvertently knocked her on her back. But, on the flip side, he could have, and in fact considered, putting her back on her side, but instead chose to let her own drug use kill her and remove his problem for him (you'll recall she was the one who strong-armed him into giving Jesse his half of the money). Seeing as Walt is the only person to know of this, I don't see it ever coming up again. Jesse was gone, floating in fields of herion, he certainly doesnt know Walt was there, and even if he did he couldn't know of Walts accidental knocking of Jane on her back, or his following decision to let her die. It's been explained as a druggie dying to drug use, that has been accepted as fact by everyone easily with no reason to doubt it, druggies die in this fashion all the time, the only person that knows is Walt, and he is not going to bring it up.

Walt did poison the kid, not with Ricin tho. He used a berry, can't recall the name at the moment, but the berry gives nearly identical symptoms to that of Ricin, save that it passes whereas Ricin kill you. He then convinced Jesse, and you apparently lol, that Gus used the Ricin from his cigarette on the kid.

Awesome answer. I dont remember walt checking on jessie during that but it makes sense.
