Why did the hospital release Cormier with either a suspected perforated bowel or poisoning?

Police Debunk Theories Linking Breitbart, L.A. Coroner Tech Deaths

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/05/09/police-debunk-theories-linking-breitbart-l-a-coroner-tech-deaths.html

Cormier was first hospitalized on April 18, complaining of abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Doctors suspected he had a perforated bowel but released him anyway, though not before Cormier told them he thought someone had tried to poison him.

The following day, Cormier’s stomach pain continued, and he was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph’s, where he suffered three heart attacks, according to a law-enforcement source. When an initial toxicology test proved “questionable” and Cormier later died, the hospital notified the coroner’s office.

It also doesn’t sound like a perforated bowel would cause heart attacks. Seems like death comes by sepsis - which would be detected immediately by a blood test. And I would think the autopsy would show that also. Right now the autopsy is done; they’re just waiting on the toxicology results. The article makes it sound like he had 3 heart attacks but didn’t die until “later”.
