Looked like Robert had a hunting accident, too. Appearances can be deceiving in the game of thrones. Cersei, over the course of the entire season, engineered circumstances that guaranteed Tommen become depressed. She knew her children, yes, but she chose herself in the end.
Tommen made it impossible for Cersei to escape justice via trial by combat, this forced Cersei to turn to plan B: Blowing everyone up-including the woman Tommen loved. Her loss was too great him, the true lovers heart couldn't bear it, choosing to shatter the vessel which contained it rather than do without.
Tommen, Killed by his own mother.
Maybe an unintended bonus for her. I doubt she would know that her actions would absolutely push him over the edge. Literally. She is conniving and evil but ultimately I don't think she's that smart. Although she probably thought he was already at the trial.
