But, we didn't have any reason to think that it was foul play, so we had to go with accidental death. The term 'natural causes' actually has a specific meaning in coroner terms. If it had actually been 'natural causes' with no suspicious circumstances, the case wouldn't have even been put before the coroner's jury. But, because of the blood, etc., the coroner wanted to have the jury hear the case and make the determination. No, we didn’t really think natural causes..
