Ruling Do Both Players Win in These Rare Scenarios?

Pokemon Official Rulebook reads:
"WHAT IF BOTH PLAYERS WIN AT THE SAME TIME?
You win if you take your last Prize card or if your opponent has no Benched Pokémon to replace his or her Active Pokémon if it is Knocked Out (or otherwise removed from play). This makes it possible for both players to win at the same time. If this happens, play Sudden Death. However, if you win in both ways and your opponent wins in only one way, you are the victor/"

I have played for a few months but have never encountered these scenarios so I don't know the rulings if they happen.

1) Both players have only 1 prize card left. It is Player A's turn and his Pokemon knocks out Player B's Pokemon, then knocks itself out because of poison damage/ rocky helmet/ opponent's ability/ self-inflicted damage.

2) Player A has 1 prize card left and no benched Pokemon. His ROS Shaymin EX uses Sky Return to knock out the opponent then return to player A's hand.

1) Poison Damage: Player A wins, because Poison damage occurs inbetween turns and the game is over before the turn ends.

All other conditions: Sudden Death

2) Sudden Death
