I thought Asimov wrote a follow up book on how his three laws could be bypassed. I recall a poisoning and using two robots. Person tells robot 1 to put poison in a drink and leave. Person tells robot 2 to deliver the drink. Person 2 dies thus breaking the laws.

The key is “cause”, its a whole debate to justify who caused the death of person 2. I would argue Person 1 caused the death.
