Since her baby died

[hirashin]

Hello, native English speakers,
Is the following sentence correct? If it is, does it have two meanings?
Since her baby died, she's done nothing but cry all day.

Yeah, that's fine. A second meaning doesn't jump out at me.

It can have two meanings:

赤ちゃんが死んでから______
赤ちゃんが死んだから______

EDIT

I just checked www.dictionary.reference.com to see what they have to say, suspecting that the "because" usage may be non-standard, and was surprised at what I found.

The short definitions give only the sequential usage:

But among their examples found nothing but the consequential usage:

The word origin section lists both usages:

Because you're using the present perfect form which emphasises a continued action (in this case), reading 'since' with the meaning of 'because' sounds fairly awkward. So, I wouldn't worry about native speakers reading it with that meaning.

Probably more a matter of common sense than verb tense:

Since her baby died she has stopped feeding it.

Since her baby died she has buried it.

Thanks for the help, nahadef and Mike.
