I can see ruling out a gunshot, stabbing, hanging, or wrist slashing. But there is no one that can rule out natural causes, seizure, poisoning, heart attack, etc., without an autopsy. How absurd. We would not need any coroners for anything, I guess.

Perhaps they know the cause but just aren't telling us yet?

Can one not rule them out if there is an apparent nonnatural cause of death?

I don't see anywhere that it rules out slashed wrists.

And if his wrists were slashed, and all his blood was making a stream towards the lower ground, I am thinking that might be a way to rule out natural causes (although there was an episode of "Millennium" called "Powers, Principalities, Thrones and Dominions" where a guy slashed his own neck, but it turned out that he really died of a heart attack, but that was TV).
