The outcome is sad. Let's hope this unhappy ending proves to be a valued learning curve for a future hiker.
I have to think her phone was dead long before she got in trouble given 1. She used it as a flashlight, 2. She wasn't carrying enough gear to assume she had a charging pack, 3. It was too cold for a battery to survive a day unless she had the right insulation, which she clearly did not.
