Potassium is generally considered a safe means of ending someones live via heart attack, the coroner isn't going to be able to tell why the heart attack happened.
But a lot of the time it's about luck, and how fast the authorities want to just close the case.
There was a lawyer friend of the court in Lake County Illinois that went missing one summer, his body was eventually found by some kids in a swamp in an advanced state of decay.
They tested what brain matter remained for drugs, found cocaine in his system and ruled it a drug overdose.
No explanation as to why he was in the middle of a swamp doing excessive amounts of Cocaine in the summer heat, I figure that he was more likely than not murdered.
Another murder happened across the highway from where I lived, some real estate guy had been stabbed in car at a gas station the previous night and tried to run into an empty adjacent overgrown lot where he died.
Nobody investigated all this blood until some guy parked right next to the bloody car and had the station call the police in the afternoon of the next day.
The case was never solved, but cocaine was found in the dead guys system, so they chalked it up to a drug deal gone bad.
