His actions caused her to lay on her back, and she died as a result of the asphyxiation.

I mean we know this bc it's tv but yeah he's directly related to the reason she died

Heroin is directly related to the reason she died. Unintentionally causing her to lay on her back indirectly caused her to choke on her vomit due to the direct cause of heroin overdose.

Ethically, willful inaction is the same as a willful action, so he is definitely responsible for her death even though he didn't directly kill her. He made a conscious decision not to help her avoid death so I agree it was murder, just not premeditated.

I actually don't see that as his turning point though. Walt has conflicted feelings about what he did. I think his final turning point is in the fly episode much later. I always took the fly/"contamination" in that episode to represent a realization of what he had become and a last chance to redeem himself before becoming a monster, by telling Jesse the truth about Jane, and which he decides against and completes the transformation.
I could be wrong though it's been a long time since I've watched BB.
