So the medical responders give the true, final physical event, but that tells us nothing about how they got to that point until the autopsy etc happens......but the media takes the initial medical report and runs with all the speculation.

I only asked because it was a BIG thing when he passed (first seemed like natural causes) & suddenly, it seems that the media suppressed the "real cause" of the heart attack which was drugs. Its no mystery that he was drug-addled for many years.
